Fingerstyle Guitar Tab
This is a fingerstyle solo guitar arrangement of “Row, Row, Row Your Boat.” The sheet music contains tab, standard notation and the chords (chord symbols and chord diagrams).
I play it by using my thumb on the accompaniment triplet pattern and play the melody with my index, middle and ring fingers.
Before I learn a solo guitar arrangement, I like to know the melody first. Try plucking out the melody before putting it all together.

History & Lyrics
“Row, Row, Row Your Boat” is an English language nursery rhyme. A version of the lyrics attached to another melody was first printed in 1852. Those same lyrics were then set to another tune a couple of years later. The words and melody as we know them today were recorded in 1881 in The Franklin Square Song Collection.
Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream; merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream!
