Tiger Mountain Peasant Song Tabs

Capo 5th fret
Throughout I'm going to give chords and fingerings relative to the capo, so to
get the actual chord/fingering, move up five steps. Am becomes Dm, etc. 

Each hyphen is a sixteenth note in the picking.

The standard picking form is thumb on the lowest note, index and ring finger 
on the double picks.

G:    320030
