I love what John does with this trad' song  his finger picking i was never good
at it I could always wing it. 
How I got this worked I first copied his bass line decending from D C Bb A. 
But then I found trying this while playing the D chord was too hard so i play
the notes as chords, sounded all right but not right. So I thought put the old
capo on and change the chords, this better becuase it always helped me to work
out the other chords.

NOT THE CLAPTON ONE!
