Okay, here's a song I learned from JP Frehley at Fiddler's Grove, and I think he told me he learned it from Ali Bain.
And so I'm gonna play that for you a couple times through then we'll learn it.
Very easy song.

Okay, thank you Bain in a box.
That was very beautiful.
This song starts out with the first finger on the G string.
[B]
[Abm] [N] 1 3 1 2 2 Not to be [B] mistaken for Maiden's Prayer. [Am] [Gb] [N]
1 2 1 1 2 Sorry, 1 3 1 3 1 2 2 Ends up on the 2, second finger of the A [A] string. [Gbm]
[Bm] [N] 2 1 2 [C] on the D string. 1 on the A. [A] So it's starting with the A. [Gb] [Gbm] [B]
Alright, going on. 2 1 1 2 1 2 [E] E [Gbm] open. [B] Okay, again, starting on the second finger A. [E] [B]
[D] Back to the A string. [B] And then the E string. [Bb] [B]
[Bb] 1 2 2 [Eb] 1 [B] [F] And I just drop an open A between [B] those notes. [A] [B]
[Gbm] [Bb]
[B]
[Am]
And [C] that repeats. Do that twice, then go to [Am] the B part. Which is very [D] pretty. You start walking up and back down on the E [Bb] string. Starting [C] open. [N]
[Bm] [B] That's third finger A, [Bb] then back to the E [Bm] string. 1 [Em] [Ab]
[Bb]
[B]
Now on the A string. [A] [Bbm] [Db]
3 2 1 2 2 That was on the E open. [G] 2, back to 2 on the A string. [B] First finger E. [Bm] [Gb] [C] 1, then on the A. 3 2 1 [D] [Gb] [Bm] [N]
Now the third line. Again, you're walking up the scale. Starting with [F] the E open. But between each note, throw in an open A. So here's [Em] without the open A. [Bb] [G] [Ab] [B]
[Bb] [Bb]
All the way down to the first [B] finger on the A. But now here's with the open A [G] and between some of those. [Gbm] [B]
[Bb]
[B] And then it ends with the last line. It's the same as the last line on the A part. So the B part goes like this. [Ab] [Eb]
[D] [B]
[A]
[Gb] [D]
[C] [Gb]
[A]
[Db] [Gb]
[Am] [E]
[B]
[Dm]
[A]
[Ab] [B]
For those of you like me who can't play double notes. Alright. [Bb] Margaret Swaltz.
