Album: Chinese Work Songs

Note: This tab is really good, but it is flatpicked 
so there are many more notes I didn’t include. 
I only used the chord strums and the melody.


Capo 2


This song is really easier, fun, and deceptively repetitive. 
In this song there is a chord strum and 
then the melody is played on the higher strings.
This is a simplified but still right version.

Verse:
F       C       G       Am
F       C       G       G
F       C       G       Am
F       C       G       C

Chorus follows same chords as intro and is pretty much the same thing 

More Notes: 
-All measures are same length (4/4)
- First three bars of each intro line can be played at the 
beginning of each verse line because the chords are the same
- song is flatpicked but a finger pick it
- chords are relative to capo
