<< Back to Peter, Paul and Mary Song List
Version 1This song is recorded in the key of Eb, so you must capo on the first fret to match the pitch. The right-hand pattern is an arpeggio in waltz time (3/4) with the thumb leading a predominantly down-scale movement. Noel plays a hammer-on on the 1st string 2nd fret often and always drops in a D7 when he makes the turn into the bridge. Bmadd11/A x04430 is not meant to be strummed but instead worked into the arpeggio pattern with the thumb on the open 5th string.
