Words By Woody Guthrie. Music by Billy Bragg Note: This song is originally flat picked with different fingerings but I made a simpler open triad version. I personally use fingerstyle with an alternating bass and shuffle pluck. Most of down strokes should be done as a "chuck" with the bags of your fingers and muting after except on the last chorde of each line. The "rests" should be a thumb pick of the root note of each chord. Line three should be strummed lightly. Line 4 pluck each chord and let ring. [Intro] [Verse] I was born at Half Past 12 almost One in the morning; I was born at Half Past One almost Two in the morning. Now my birthday comes again and I don’t know how old I am; Half past One or Two or Three almost 4 in the morning. [Interlude] [Verse] I was born at Half Past Four almost 5 in the morning; I was born at Half Past Six almost 7 in the morning; How old am I you ask of me? One year younger than I used to be; Half Past 7 Half Past 8 Half Past Nine in the morning. [Interlude] [Verse] I was born at Half Past Nine almost Ten in the morning; I was born at 1/2 past Ten almost ’Leven in the morning; Today my age is Tweedle and ’twee I’m prettier than I used to be; Half Past ’Leven Half Past ’Leven almost 12 in the morning.
