There seems to be 2 versions of this track, the first in standard tuning and another, (the original album
version I think), which it tuned slightly sharp, (about a quarter step). I'm guessing the track has been
sped up slightly. Other than that it's a fun track to play. Makes me wish I owned a banjo!
The chords in brackets are not played but you can put them in if you like, (I do).
