Subject: RE: Req. chords for Cotton Eyed Joe
No words, but "The Craig Duncan Master Fiddle Solo Collection" - Mel Bay gives two variations of the tune.
The first is 'the line dance' version:
-/A /AD/A / /A /AD/A /EA:
:A / / /EA/ / / /EA:
The second he calls a 'tune from the southern mountain tradition ... often performed with a vocal'.
/A / / /EA/ / / /EA/ / / /EA/ / / /EA
Both are in 3# key signature (A) as written. No repeats (:) in the second version.
