 Here's my take on the road apples version of fiddlers green. This is the best way to
 it with only one guitar, but it sounds even better with a second guitar, in regular tuning,
 strumming the chords all the way through.
 
 Tune to open E tunning.

 Verse 2:
 His tiny knotted heart, well I guess it never worked too good
 the timber tore apart, and the water gorged the wood
 you can hear her whispered prayer, for men at masts that always lean
 the same wind that moves her hair, moves her boy through Fiddler's Green

 Verse 3:
 He doesn't know a soul, and there's nowhere that he's really been
 but he won't travel long alone, no not in Fiddler's Green
 balloons all filled with rain, as children's eyes turn sleepy mean
 as Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain, for a boy in Fiddler's Green
