Chords

Traditional late 18th century Welsh folk song. Several lyric versions out there so apologies to any Welsh folk if I have used the 'wrong' lyrics! In the first 2 lines of the bridges it is possible to omit the C chords and just play the F, Dm, Am and G and it still sounds ok imho. Intro = C F D G F G C Verse 1
