I'm posting a song a day from the Rise Up Singing songbook, which you may or may not know. It's a pretty invaluable resource for song leaders, and useful for anyone who likes to sing in groups. The book doesn't include the melodies to the songs, just the lyrics and some chords, so I’m trying hard to find the tunes I don’t know, learn them, and post them on YouTube for anyone to learn. That’s where these videos are hosted; the blog is just pretty packaging.

Strumming Patterns for Down by the Bay
This video is in response to a request. How about that?
Rise Up Singing chapter: Play, p.168
Chords:
G D7 / - G / C G / stop: sing the silly rhyme, then D7G!
So, put otherwise, that's
Down by the [G]bay... where the watermelons [D7]grow...
Back to my home, I dare not [G]go...
For if I [C]do... my mother will [G] say... [stop!]
Did you ever see a moose, kissing a goose? [D7]down by the [G]bay?
