Summertime Minstrel by Luke Woltanski
Summertime Minstrel
Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: G
The original song is recorded in F, but Luke frequently plays it live in G. Just transpose down two steps for
the studio version.
Fingerpick or strum throughout, except for the first two lines of the last chorus and the last line of the
song, which are both single strummed. Additionally, the * symbol represents walking down on the E string
from G as follows:
G* G/F# Em
E|--------------|
B|--------------|
G|--------------|
D|--------------|
A|--------------|
E|--3---2---0---|
As usual, a chord will be found in parentheses above a new line if it is played in the previous line but
held out into the new one.
