Chord (part b, bar 1)
This is a small variation where, for effect you play a double note, i.e. C# and E. It occurs at the opening notes of part B. Play the two notes with finger 3 (middle) and 4 (little finger). Use the variation when you're playing the tune the second or third time.

Variation 2
(part b, bar 4)
Different musicians play the end of the last bar of the first and second part of the tune in different ways, with some going down to the low E as in: C#EF#A and others playing C#BAA. If you play the tune in sessions you'll encounter both. I've demonstrated the first version and this is played with fingers 4234 for C#EF#A. You've ended the tune with finger 4 on A. Change to finger 2 to begin the first part of the tune again.
