Down in a valley by a mountain that is pine tree tall
And a jam jar by the water_____fall
Dont make a sound dont disturb the ground
The biggest fish you e__ver saw is around
As one small boy goes running proudly to his mothers call
Hiding close against the hillside up a winding track
Wearing wooden shoes and building up a new haystack
Run in the door stand on the stone floor
The oven opens- theres the biggest loaf you ever saw
As he sits down in his own chair with a Windsor back
Sun is setting quietly and the boy is tired
Hanging on the wind preying eagle eyed
Sit by the lantern watch as the years turn
Slowly bringing truth for every child to learn
As the family sit their faces lit by ember fire

Most of the time the arpeggios are on the 5th, 4th and 3rd strings,
with the occasional shifting to the 4th, 3rd and 2nd strings...
Listen to the song to get it...
Also it seems easier to play without using the ring finger at all in
the arpeggios; i.e. with just the thumb, index and middle finger
[or maybe that's just me ;)].
In this way picking reflexes involving the ring finger may be minimized,
the song requiring most of the time arpeggos of three strings only.
