Thanks so much, Maeve and Peregrina- I think it's just about perfect! I'm clear across the country from California, in Maine, but I saw he'll be in Massachusetts next April, so I might be able to make it down. I had the enormous pleasure to see him this past winter here in Maine and meet him after the show, but I didn't ask about the lyrics- I did ask what tuning he used though, and for this one he said open G. Unfortunately for me when I'm in an open tuning I'm pretty much stuck in that key, and the song's in D...

Thanks again!
