Notes: All the Blue Bonnets (Are Over the Border) has history dating back to 1820. The song was a march in the Highlands Calvary and was mentioned three times in Laura Ingalls Wilder's books form the Little House on the Prairie series. In 6/8 jig time, it's feasible to use clawhammer to play, and fun, too.

Just one chord in this tune?

It goes back and forth between G and D7. I only arranged and learned this as a banjo solo, but those are the chords I’d use if I needed accompaniment.

Yes, I can hear where the D7 goes--the cadential V - 1 progression....muchas...Jack

So that D7 would be on the last 3 8th notes in 6/8?

Yes. The D7 seems to go in the "middle" of a measure.
