With its clear, singable melody and steady 4/4 rhythm, When The Saints Go Marching In is a rewarding tune to explore on clawhammer banjo. This clawhammer banjo tab includes two progressive arrangements for beginner and confident-beginner players. Start with the spacious, easy-to-follow SIMPLY SONGS version before moving on to the more detailed Standard TAB, where chord shapes, rhythmic accompaniment and hammer-ons create a fuller arrangement.
Style: Clawhammer banjo
Tuning: Open G tuning — gDGBD
Key: G major
Time signature: 4/4
SIMPLY SONGS difficulty: Confident Beginner
Standard TAB difficulty: Intermediate
Techniques: Single-note melody, fretted notes, fifth-string rhythm, chord shapes and hammer-ons
Chords: G, C and D7
Lyrics included: Yes, including four additional verses
Digital format: Digital PDF download
Length: 4 PDF pages across both arrangements
Begin with the SIMPLY SONGS arrangement and concentrate on keeping the familiar melody steady as the harmony moves between G, C and D7. The coloured chord sections make those changes easier to recognise while you play. The Standard TAB develops the tune with denser rhythmic accompaniment, fuller chord shapes and two marked hammer-ons near the ending. Work through it phrase by phrase, using the simpler version as your melodic guide while gradually adding the extra clawhammer detail.
Start with the SIMPLY SONGS version—a clear, approachable and easy-to-read banjo tab with larger notation and a simplified arrangement. It is designed for beginners, visual learners and players who find traditional banjo tablature difficult to read.
When ready for an extra challenge, progress to the Standard TAB, which provides a more complete clawhammer banjo arrangement with additional notes, techniques and musical detail.
Together, the two versions provide a clear path from understanding and playing the essential tune to developing a richer arrangement.
