I love this song. It's fairly simple. The most obvious way to play it is by putting a
on the 1st fret and playing D, A, A7, D, D, D7, Em, E, E7, etc. But I lost my capo.. so
the barre version.
It also has a wonderful dooo-dooo-dooo doodoodoo thing going on between verses and in
beginning.. as in:
E|------6-----6-----6--------|
B|------8-----8-----8--------|
G|------8-----8-----8--------|
D|---------------------------|
A|---6-----5---------------5-|
E|---------------8-----6-8---|

Go out to the meadow;
