Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
[-This song's vocals cover nearly two octaves, so grab a capo and
put it wherever you need to. As written, in standard tuning you'll
sing from a low E to a middle Db.]
[-Playing the E7 chords as 022130 is kinda distracting here,
so I recommend 020100.]
[If Johnny Cash brought you here, transpose -2 to play it in G, put
a capo on the first fret, skip the 3rd verse & chorus, and
sing "You'll" in the place of "Thou'lt" and you'll be all set.]
