(as the last line of last verse or after last verse repeat last line;
swap 2nd last C chord with F
and last bar of C single strum or root note... or just do your own thing)
chord repetition: first and last the same... 2 middle the same
Lyric variation: I like to sing: Fare "thee" well to Tipp...
timing stays the same as Fare Thee become two 1/8 notes instead of fare as a 1/4 note
