 Huddie Ledbetter
 Where did you sleep last night is AKA In the pines, AKA Little Girl
 Here is a version of it:
 Little Girl by Huddie Ledbetter (Leadbelly)
 Song is in 3/4 
 The A7 is 002223
 
 The basic strum is bass strum strun or
                     1    2     3
 
                   bass stum up-strum strum
                    1   2     and      3
 
 To be authentic this should be played on a 12 string strung with very heavy
 string and tunned down 3 or 4 frets. (the Leo Kotke Taylor or the 
 Franklin Stella copy are perfect...)
 All notes should be played with a thumb
 pick, (except of course up strums.) On succesive measures of the same 
 chord, the bass should altermate. (EX: a A7,e A7, where a and e
 are the open 5th and 6th strings.)
 
 
 The melody can be played onong ala Leadbellyonthe BASS strings.
 The  basic rythm  is:
 
                  bass strum   melody 
                    1    2     3
                               8th16th 16th
 
 with the melody  ending on the bass of  the next measure
 Melody in in parenthesis. The chorus is the same as verse.
 Small letters are notes. Caps are chord
