So learn it well beforeyou lead a class in singing it.The song is in waltz or ¾ time, so you count 1 – 2 – 3 – 1 – 2 – 3 as you play.At the end of each verse the third strum / beat can be the first beat f the next verse … or youcan add a few strums to get your breath. (Plan ahead).To start the song; Strum the G chord, then pluck the 3 rd (open) string, put a finger on the 2 ndfret of this 3 rd string and pluck that note, and then pluck the (open) 2 nd string. This shouldgive you the notes for “There’s a hole …”Ruth Wickham, Brighton Education Training Fellow57
