## Formatting and source decisions

The latest supplied version is instrumental in A, replacing the earlier G lyric sheet. Its two progression lines are unchanged. The original’s broad historical-origin comment is preserved in the repository source copy but not added to the public chart as verified research.

Lyrics and existing chord placement are preserved. Verse/chorus directives become readable headings on the website; comments remain performance cues. This is the band’s working version, not a requirement to match a historical singer’s wording.
