It It It And It Lyrics And Chords
4/4 (Traditional German Craftsmen Song)
This is an English translation of the old German folk song Es, Es, Es Und Es and is supposed to capture the general spirit and the melodic rhythm of the original. The story is based on the old (but still practiced) tradtion of craftsmen to spent several years of their journeyman’s years of service on the tramp to collect experiences and perfect their skills. Due to strict rules they have to keep a minimum distance from their native hometowns and are not allowed to stay at a certain place for more than some months before they have to move on and find another employment somewhere else. The guitar chords are the work of Marc Fahrbach
