Dark Eyed Molly 3/4 Stan Roger Archie Fisher
Standard Tuning / Submitted by Ken Lee [email protected]
Intro: Three bars E Arpeggio (base E then (b f Ab b E b E @ 3))
Finger an E chord and play bottom 5 strings repeating 5/6
Played as Intro and at end of every line. Phrasing very tricky, drawn out and sped up, I have tried
to transcribe accurately but not 100%. Close enough for Government work.
