Pedal ad-lib, except where noted

• Give it a two-beats per measure feel, like a jig.• Level of difficulty: fifth easiest in the book.• A deep thought on the subject of fingering : We learn songs at

slow speeds, and therefore fingering seems dumb or unimportant.Then we wonder why some places are such a pain to play as webecome able to play the song faster. It is because we have formed

permanent fingering habits that make those places almost impossible to play. Wouldn’t it be better to take just an extraminute to learn the right fingering the first time?
