Here’s a folksong by Steven Foster and one of Florida’s state songs.
The audio example is in the key of C on a C harp and has ideas for
embellishing the tab below. Such a beautiful old tune, hope you enjoy it!

Swanee River

5 -4 4 5 -4 4 7 -6 7

Way down upon the Swanee River,

6 5 4 -4

Far, far away,

5 -4 4 5 -4 4 7 -6 7

That’s where my heart is turning ever.

6 5 4 -4 -4 4

That’s where the old folks stay.

-7 7 -8 6 6 -6 6 7

Up and Down the whole creation,

7 -6 6 5 -4

Sadly I roam.

5 -4 4 5 -4 4 7-6 7

Still longing for the old plantation.

6 5 4 -4 -4 -4 4

And for the old folks at home.
