Hi

Goodnight (high G and low G)

An old English lullaby. It's been sung for many centuries, and the composers unknown. The song origin unknown, possibly from Liverpool area. Dedicated to the ukers out there who have young babies and who need to squeeze out practice time in a busy day.

I wrote out two versions (they are actually identical), one for high G and another for low G. I kinda like the low-G version. I did alter some chords and used a dissonant chord in places. Remember this is a lullaby, so play it slow! I wrote out three verses but feel free to reorganize. I am not too happy about the interlude so I leave it up to you to decide if you want to skip. If you do, you won't hurt my feelings at all.

One note: The natural harmonics. I did it since it's actually easier to play that way than holding 12-fret. My fingering is the index finger on 10-th fret (A string). The ring finger touches 12th fret (C and E strings) to generate harmonics. When it works, it is pretty!

FYI - I hope you understand I'm kidding:D! This is by the Beatles, the last track on the White Album, being sang by Ringo.

very nicely done Chief Noda. Thanks for taking the time to do this. I enjoyed the time travel back to my yesteryears of the beatles era through the vid. Brought back a lot of memories from my early adulthood. Again thanks!! Lozark
