• Notes: When accompanying on piano or finger picking on guitar, continue with an arpeggiated chord pattern under the part-singing of the refrain. Conversely, the accompaniment of the stanzas may be interpreted as sustained chords to match the harmony of the refrain. If a contrast is desired between the stanzas and the refrain, consider allowing the refrain to be sung unaccompanied. Another possibility would be to have the stanzas sung by different solo voices, with all joining on the refrain. This may be sung unaccompanied throughout.
