Is there anyone who plays this song, whether it be Grisman version or whatever? I have to arrange it for a group jam session and was looking for ideas.

It in the Shady Grove book, if that helps.

Evan,
I think the Shady book's version is in Em, but obviously whatever suits the vox is gonna work best..So it'd be like (i=Em) "there wuz a wealthy merchant in London he did dwell" (V7=B7) He had a beautiful daughter (III=G) the truth (VI=C) to you I tell (III=C), (i) Oh the truth (V7) to you I tell (i) :ll Something like that but again it's only my interpretation, you'd hafta listen for the chord changes and filter and decipher that jumbled mess..

Sorry, put that first Bm over Dwell.
for a cool take check out Big Medicine's version titled "Jack Monroe"
