Oh, the wind and the rain

Cryin' oh, the dreadful wind and rain
Melody Riff
Left her on the bank to dry
Cryin' Oh, the wind and the rain
And a fiddling fool come passing by
Cryin' oh, the dreadful wind and rain
Out of the woods came a fiddler fair
Oh, the wind and the rain
He took thirty strands of her long yellow hair
Cryin' oh, the dreadful wind and rain
And he made a fiddle bow of her long yellow hair
Oh, the wind and the rain
And he made a fiddle bow of her long yellow hair
Cryin' oh, the dreadful wind and rain
He made fiddle pegs of her long finger bones
Oh, the wind and the rain
He made fiddle pegs of her long finger bones
Cryin' oh, the dreadful wind and rain
And he made a little fiddle of her breast bone
Oh, the wind and the rain
Whose sound could melt a heart of stone
Cryin' oh, the dreadful wind and rain
And the only tune that fiddle would play was
Oh, the wind and the rain
The only tune that fiddle would play was
Oh, the dreadful wind and rain
Also I play the E at the beginning of the song and in the middle before going
into the
melody riff like this, you can hit the E note on the A string and sounds pretty
close to
the Almost Acoustic version of the song. It's tough to get used to but worth it
once you
can go right there, beautiful chord also it's an easy transition into the C#m
which I don't
barre but leave both e strings open as well
