My own interpretation of the well-known song, but not taken from the Beach Boys version. This one is inspired by the 1930's Bahamian sea shanty version by Blind Blake Higgs. It has different lyrics to the Beach Boys. Check it out on youtube - it's brilliant  :)

This has just guitar, mandolin and vocals. The guitar is capo'd as high as it will go to give a 'uke' feel.
