(Beginner)
Key: Gm, DmChords and Tablature
Strumming pattern: d-du-udu

I arranged this for two players (one for the melody and one for the music), but it can be played by one person.
This is a mix of the original folk song and Manu Pilas's rendition.
Forgive me if it's kinda wacky, I'm a piano student and the ukulele is not my main thing (I'm self-taught).

A chordA little note for the song chords: Rest after the last Dm chordDm chord of each verse; mute the strings,
breathe, then play again. All final Dm chordDm chords are played DDUUDUD. The other chords are DDUUDU,
but feel free to change that!

The text gets pretty wide; I suggest copy & pasting somewhere else to read it better.
