Notes: Not the perfect melody line but an easy drop thumb arrangement that will work great for accompaniment. Drop thumbs, hammer ons and pull offs.

Notes: Fairly simple arrangement in the clawhammer style with hammer ons, slides and pull offs but no drop thumbing. Includes two variations on the B part. Some bluegrass versions have a shorter A part so if you want to do that version just disregard measures 9 and 10 and it will work fine. Capo 2 for fiddle in A.

Notes: Fairly simple arrangement in the clawhammer style with slides, hammer ons, pull offs and easy drop thumbing. The first pass is the basic version everyone does. It is almost note for note like Jim Pankey's version on his Youtube channel. Go look it up if you want to see a great lesson on it. The second pass is kind of a Banjo in the Hollow melodic drop thumb A Part with complimentary variations on the B Part.
Capo 2 for fiddle in A.
