This is an arrangement of a pretty song from 16 songs for children by Tchaikovsky, for
guitar. Some of the stretches look quite wide but they are possible! Remember that the
is not a strict 4/4, so you can take some time to stretch to those chords.
It is made up of 3 short phrases. The highest note in each chord is the melody note -
this out more.
