This is tuned one full step below the original (from
A to G, as far as I can tell), resulting in only
requiring one overblow: overblow hole 4, noted as
4+, from C to D#, at "rightful heir." Beginners can
feel free to omit the overblow and simply play 5
instead of 4+. I've included the lyrics and note
names as a guide.
