Are All the Children In? - chords, tab and comments
This one is meant for recitation, but I still give it a tab : my own. The original recording is from "Hymns by Johnny Cash" released '60, and has a simple background melody 3/4 rythm. I gave it a finger-picking instead, with the following harmonies.
G Am Bm D7/9 D7 G Em
when I'm alone I often think of an old house on the hill
Am D7 G Am Bm D7/9 D7
of a big yard hedged in roses where we ran and played at will
G Am Bm D7/9 D7 G Em
and when the night time brought us home hushing our merry din
Am Bm D7/9 D7 G
mother would look around and ask "are all the children in?"
I've hardly ever performed this one in public. I always get sentimental and those bloody tears start making me a fool.
