If so, sorry for cluttering up your mail box. If not, please post this on the netnews alt.guitar.tab. This is my closest approx. to Mother Goose. The song is capoed on the fifth fret as the tuning indicates, although the finger positions and what chords are present are given as if the capo is position 0. The song's strumming and picking style necesitated some liberalization on my part in the tab. The intro (section 1) which is played at the beginning and/or end of each verse is repeated 2 to 4 times depending upon the verse.
