About This Song

Billy In The Lowground is a jam session essential—one of those tunes that gets called at bluegrass circles everywhere. It's typically played in C. Four chords (C, F, G, and Am) gives the melody a modal flavor that's characteristic of old-time fiddle tunes with deep Appalachian roots.

This is a solid choice for players working on their intermediate repertoire.
