Melody Sheets & Lyric Cheat Sheet
In the attachments, I have included a melody sheet in standard notation in the key of C, a melody sheet in mandolin tab in the key of C, three melody sheets in guitar tab, two of which are written in C an octave apart from each other, and one of which is written in G (capo 5 to raise it up to C: refer to the Capo Chart in the attachments), two melody sheets in banjo tab: one in C, and the other in G (capo 5 to raise it up to C: refer to the Capo Chart in the attachments), and a lyric cheat sheet that gives the first words of each of the verses of the song in large print. The reason why it is in large print is so that one can put the sheet on the floor - instead of on a music stand - when one is leading the singing on the song at the jam, and quickly glance at it before - not while - one starts singing the next verse of the song in case, in the moment, one forgets how the next verse begins (a common occurrence at jams and in live band performances).

Happy Pickin',
Jason
