Tuning: Dropped D

This old popular song was written in 1917 by Ballard MacDonald and James F. Hanley, and since the Original Dixieland Jass Band recorded it that same year, it has been a jazz standard for almost an entire century. Unlike most tunes recorded in the first decade or so of jazz history, "Indiana" never lost its appeal for jazzers in the modern era, and it's chord sequence has been the basis for hundreds of contemporary tunes. This arrangement is in C, and mostly based on first-position chord shapes.
