Hello, Getting around with claw-hammer and I have fallen in love with "Little Birdie" as performed by the master Pete Seeger. I was wondering if anyone has a transcription for this piece. Thamks,

Hopefully someone has a transcription, but this may help. On p. 32 of Pete's banjo book, he prints the beginning of it. It's in gCGAD tuning. He says there's a complete transcription of Lily May Ledford's version transcribed by Hally Wood in a 1961 issue of Sing Out. If no one else has it, Sing Out will probably copy it for your for a couple of bucks.

Pete Seeger refers to Lily May Ledford in his book, but he seems do do it a little different in the clip from Rainbow Quest:
Coon Creek Girls (with Lily May Ledford) - Little Birdie
I have that old transcription from SingOut! and it is not tabbed, but in music notation.
