Standalone, this song is pretty easy and repetitive.  But make 
it your own style by filling up space between the words by 
plucking strings in different patterns of your choice throughout 
the song.  I stole these lyrics from another site so they're 
probably not right but... enjoy!

E (022100@1)         A (x02220@1)     E (022100@1)            AI (x02220@1)am an old woman named after my mother
