This Old Guitar John Denver

The timing of this piece is 4/4: a regular 8 quavers to the bar. In the tab all notes are 3 characters apart except when there is a Quaver rest (or a barline). 4 bars are repeated 3 times each verse: These are indicated by a/b/c in the lyric lines.

Also indicated are the fingering used: I: index M: middle R: ring P: pinky B: barred (index)

(Of course, you can finger it how you like, but this works for me: its basically the way I always finger these chords!).
