Biography:
Formed in 2001, The Duhks (pronounced like "ducks") are a five-piece Canadian folk-rock group. Four of them are from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Their music draws heavily on Celtic traditions, but is also influenced by gospel music, bluegrass, and other North American musical traditions, and uses acoustic instruments with rock and Latin-influenced percussion. In spring 2016, the band announced that they would no longer be touring. They have not released any new music since 2014.

Hey flatpickers, this is folksy Irish-styled song written in 3/4 time. You may have to listen to the
recording to get the timing right. I couldn't find lyrics or chords so I made them all up (there is a
version up at riffstation.com that has chords only, but some of them are a little off). Let me know
if I misheard a lyric or chord in the comments. Watch out, there's a C#m hiding in the bridge.
Have a nice jam session.
