Tuning: EADGBe, capo 5th fret
This is a cute song and it's great Travis picking practice, if you're looking for that.
It's also baby's first real tab!
Some notes on fingering:
* The slides indicated are of the whole chord shape I'm making.
* Play the bridge up till the D chords, and the Bm7 in the verses, as barre chords
* I get that last harmonic with my pinkie. YMMV.
