Wade In The Waterby Eva Cassidy

Wade In The Water is an African-American spiritual, the lyrics of which were first co-published in 1901 by the brothers Work.

This lesson teaches Eva Cassidy's version. It appears on her album 'Eva by Heart' released in 1997.

We take a look at the chords in the key of Am (Capo I), the fingerpicking with swing feel and the eight measure progression. 

There is a challenging two measure fill at the end of the intro, which like the chords, you could play in a couple of different ways. We break that down too.
