A boy would sit and fish and dream when he should have been in school.
Now, he couldn't read or write a word but happiness he found
In a little song he heard and here's how it would sound;

(76,143 posts)I played this song when I was a kid. The song is loaded with 7th & 6th chords, so the fun was finding substitutions.
My dad enjoyed hearing it, because I never played it the same way twice.
I'm guessing I was 12 or 13 when I played it.
Probably did it in a recital, but don't believe I ever did it competition.
