One of my favorite songs to play. It is played with both "E" strings tuned down to "D", and this is my own arrangement, though it is very close to Tim's original.

Thanks, Jeff. It is a fine old song and I love singing it. The muted bass strings make a neat sound.

That's one of the best versions I've heard.
