Hi Bob,
Thanks so very much! So glad you like this.
What's nice about this song is that if a person can get the Travis pick down, he or she can play this song because otherwise the chords are fairly straightforward. I think it's the Travis pick that gives this song its sound.
Also, the vocal range required to sing this song is very minimal. So just about anyone who can sing at all can find some place to put the capo so that they can sing this song. Ralph McTell plays this on capo 2 most of the time, and I played it on capo 3 mostly because I was trying to add a little more life to the song in a slightly higher register based on my approach to the song. But I think Ralph McTell's voice sounds great right where he pitched it for himself. I really like how he sings it, perfect for the message in the song.
