Tuning: Standard with capo on the 2nd fret.
This is my simplified version using a few other versions i have heard

if you want to learn it and remember it quickly then this is for you.
Listn to the CD for the changes.

I like to use the alternative open bridge to open the the cycle. In
Arlo's video he never seems to leave the first few frets which makes
singing and playing easier. You can open with the alternative and
then end with the usual ending. see my video on Youtube MrAlanCBrown.
