I realised after editing this that I hadn't changed the line in the last chorus from "got to try and find a way out of this lockdown, to "It was easier to get in than get out of this lockdown. Couldn't be bothered to start again...I'm playing a 3 string strummer (with diatonic fretting like a dulcimer) made by Tiny Guitars (James Gilliam) It was tuned DAD with a capo on the 3rd fret to make it GDG. It's lovely to play the strummer now and again, as you can just play without thinking...
