Author: Perfect Sound Forever (willb26@earthlink.net) Subject: FOLK SONG Date: Unknown Fairly easy song to play if you are familiar with Travis-style fingerpicking...basically the verses are C and G with a few extra notes added. VERSES ("Summer sky & a throat bone dry..."): G/C (G: alternate between G (320003) and G/A (300203) by dropping your index finger two strings to the A at the 3rd string, second fret then back again.) (C: alternate between C (032010) and Cmaj7 (032000).) CHORUS ("I climb high..."): Am/Em/Bm/Cmaj7/G/F On the last (instrumental) verse, play G/F instead of G/C. You can release the barre at the end of the F for effect, but be careful not to play the sixth string with the barre released. ------------------------------------- Author: Ray Moody (naalssh@altavista.net) Subject: Re: Folk song Date: Unknown Hi Colin, This is best viewed using the edit command in MS-DOS. I'm pretty sure this is right(or almost right). If you think that something is wrong I'd to hear about it. Thanks. Ray.
