Song:

To make this piece a little easier to play for myself, portions of this have been lowered by an octave. One part is the section starting with a series of blow 5’s as the original has this being played on the higher notes with some cords involved. I still think that this sounds ok when lowered.

 

 

 

I have marked this with a difficulty of intermediate. Don’t be fooled by the simplicity of the notes used, to play this at the correct speed I believe requires some skill. You will need to look up and listen to some examples as even if you think you know the tune well, chances are that like me, you were mistaken with the way you thought the tune went.
