James Bender,  I tried to e-mail this to you 2 or 3 days ago and am not
sure if it made it or not.  If so, sorry for cluttering up your mail box.
If not, please post this on the netnews  alt.guitar.tab.

This is my closest approx. to Mother Goose.  The song is capoed on the
fifth fret as the tuning indicates, although the finger positions and what
chords are present are given as if the capo is position 0.  The song's
strumming and picking style necesitated some liberalization on my part in
the tab.  The intro (section 1) which is played at the beginning and/or end
 of each verse is repeated 2 to 4 times depending upon the verse.
