About this song
A centuries-old English nursery rhyme and singing game. The dotted rhythm at the start of each line gives it its bounce.
How to play it: Bouncy 4/4. Change to G on the second 'falling down' and back to C.
Lead: C major (C D E F G A B). Each 'falling down' is three steps: E F G, then D E F.
