"sound more like the ballpark to me...allright guys"



this song is not played on a guitar - it's played on a mandolin, which explains

the high numbers.  

if you play mandolin, i'll help you out.  here you go:



                                 guitar              mandolin

on the first string:  		 15th fret    -        3rd fret

           "                     17th fret    -        5th fret

           "                     20th fret    -        8th fret

           "                     22nd fret  -         10th fret



                        g.                      m.  

on the second string:   17th fret     -    7  (or the first string open)

             "          20th fret     -    3rd fret
