I noticed that someone had put up a tab for this song for the acoustic guitar finger picking but the bass/root note part was incorrect. I have spoken with Hugh McDonald, the guitarist from Redgum and he showed me that there has to be alternating bass notes with the thumb while the fingers do the rest. A C G D e|-------0-------0-------0-------0-------3-------3-------2-------2-| B|---2-------2-------1-------1-------0-------0-------3-------3-----| G|-----2-------2-------0-------0-------0-------0-------2---2---2---| D|---------2---------------2---------------0-------0---------------| A|-0---------------3-----------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------3-------------------------------| A G e|-------0-------------3-------3-| B|---2-------2-----0-------0-----| G|-----2-------2-----0-------0---| D|---------2-------------0-------| A|-0-----------------------------| E|---------------3---------------| A e|-------0-------| B|---2-------2---| G|-----2-------2-| D|---------2-----| A|-0-------------| E|---------------| A e|-------0-------| B|---2-------2---| G|-----2-------2-| D|---------2-----| A|-0-------------| E|---------------| And that's basically the pattern. The chorus is the same, hit the alternating bass notes with your thumb. The chorus chords are E, D, A, E, D, A, F#m, E, D, A, E, D. I thing the original was recorded without a capo but a more recent version by John Schumann and the Vagabond crew had a capo on the 3rd fret.
