Thumb-strum (thumb melody) OR Standard strum (index melody)

Chorus: D D D A7* D* Goin’ up Cripple Creek, goin’ on a run, goin’ up Cripple Creek to have a little fun D D D A7* D* Goin’ up Cripple Creek, goin’ in a whirl, goin’ up Cripple Creek to see my girl Instrumental Break:

Tips: • The first beat of the 1st and 3rd measures will require a hammer-on. • Practice plucking out just the melody first. You may feel more comfortable with your

thumb or your index finger. You’ll need to adjust your strum pattern as indicated above. (Note: If you want to mimic the Bluegrass sound, I would recommend the index finger.)

• Continue plucking just the melody, but add the chord shape to your “choreography”. • As you feel comfortable, add the basic thumb-strum pattern back in, but keep the

melody predominant.
