I just adore this tune! My first exposure to it was over a decade ago when I sang Johnathan Quick's SATB arrangement of this tune in the HS Chorus. Ever since then, I've had a love for this melody.
One morning, I just picked up my baritone acoustic and started strumming, and I started playing this tune. From there, I grabbed my laptop and started inputting notes until it was finished.
The arrangement starts with very light accompaniment, almost none. Gradually, instruments layer in and the tempo picks up as the song builds. The final verse is sung more solemnly and can optionally be done fully or half acapella. Next, the band comes in for a little jam over the chorus before the singers join.
The tune ends with a tag and a big pullback for a beautiful finish that hopefully does justice to the amazing folk tune that inspired this arrangement, which I, of course, can take no credit for.
