See the Coo Coo on page 130. Chords used are Gm, and F with the banjo tuned to Gm. (g D G Bflat D) A more complicated version with an A and B part is in Clawhammer Style Banjo by Ken Perlman on page 163. JAB |

The question is, which of the many versions and cuckoo songs you're interested in. Look at the crosslinks up top and tell us which one is what you want, or post the lyrics you want to used. Hope that's a start for you. -Joe Offer- |
