Here's another flatpick arrangement of an old-time fiddle tune - Camp
View chords used in this chart
contest.
This is "crooked" tune - the A part is four measures repeated once, and the
B part is 10 measures(!), instead of the usual eight-measure grouping.
This, and a couple of oddly-placed triplets in the B part gives it kind of
a funky, unpredictable feel.
I've tabbed it and indicated the chords in G, but it's generally done in A,
so put your capo at the second fret.
