Hey All, Just trying to figure out what key this song is in. I would like to make up a banjo break for this song, but can't figure out the key ha. once I figure that out, I'm going to try to figure out the chords. Seems pretty basic, but I just need a little jump start. Thanks for the help!

Actually Sir Spence.. just got home from work... and meant to say i play it out of D (std. G tuning)... and also, i use an alternative chord pattern for the last phrase of (Am - C - Em - D)... (versus A - Bm - C - D)... and of course it would be D & G... C - G - D... for the rest. 'Course, either one works... i think. Hope i haven't confused you... but it's easier to clawhammer out of D, at least for me. Cheers!
