Tab By Robert Cooze. I typed my words verbatim from an old photocopy in my sheet music collection was feeling
some what patriotic on Waitangi day 2015. In the key of G major any feed back appreciated have included words
of all five versus I know about. Open strings can be substituted, but this can be moved so can be played in 
any key. This is my First Tab
