This is a great tune off of Native Dreamer Kin (the final track) that
is good for beginners. This isn't exactly the way it is played on the
album (this is in F, while the album version is in E). The song is in 6/8.
I've tried to capture the way they play it live here. Strumming is basic
eighth-note pattern. All chords are shown relative to capo.
Capo: 3rd Fret (2nd fret for album)
