about

This is a finger-picking exercise I was showing my son. One chord picked four different ways (with a one finger change on the bass note). I added some instrumentation that seemed appropriate.

lyrics

Wood door with three diamond windows
Toy fox hungry for fingers
Candy in a bowl
Pass through and go home

Big dress, vibrant and ruffled
Lock arms and dance with your caller
You two do-si-do
Pass through and go home

Bow to your corner
Dance until you're done
Bow to your partner
Pass through and go home

Brick house north of the city
Tried to make you laugh when I visit
That was our do-si-do
Pass through and go home

Bow to your corner
Dance until you're done
Bow to your partner
Pass through and go home
Pass through and go home
Pass through and go home
