Question

its an old song and has a catchy guitar begining. i know that its 3 notes. some of the lyrics i think go....

in the begining of the song: "early in the morning......."

chorus goes (ithink): down by water......blank_blank_blankblank...

yeah i know that doesent help. but the begining is very catchy. ok maybe this will help......3 notes 1 being low note 3 being high note

3, 2, 1, 33, 2, 11, 2, 33_______ 3 ,2, 1, 33, 2, 11, 2, 33
