Okay, Just throwing up how I play this classic Leadbelly song.
  Others have the same intros, but it's that third bit catches people out,
  mines a bit easier, and truer sounding, to my ears anyways

     If you like it, look at it, love it or hate it
                                                    RATE IT !
