How about a VIm (in this case Bm) for the [?]? Seems to hit some of the notes that are making people unsure whether it's a I or IV chord.

(I've come across this thread as a result of a commission to produce a sad-sounding version of the song, so that may be what sent me in a minor direction, but I think the minor chord there can still sound bouncy and jolly if the song's being played that
way.)

I'd like some suggestions for the chords for this children's song.

There are quite a few websites and YouTube videos about this song. Here
are a few:

http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/m/misc_traditional/hole_in_the_bucket_crd.htm

Most of these play it in D, but they put the chords on the wrong words,
or so it seems to me.

D G
There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza.
D G A7 D
There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, there's a hole.

I think it should be:

D G ? G
There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza.
D G A7 D
There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, there's a hole.

It also seems to me that there should be another chord change in the
first line where I put the "?".

This guy is playing it in C:

http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=there%27s+a+hole+in+the+bucket+chords&qpvt=there%27s+a+hole+in+the+bucket+chords&form=VDRE&first=1#view=detail&mid=6B441760263159BA979E6B441760263159BA979E

He has the chords on the right words and he has a C where I had the "?" above. This seems OK to me, but not quite right. It sounds better in C
than in D, for some reason.

C F C F
There's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza.
C F G7 C
There's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, a hole.

Here's another YouTube video with George Gobel and Dean Martin:

http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=there%27s+a+hole+in+the+bucket+chords&qpvt=there%27s+a+hole+in+the+bucket+chords&form=VDRE&first=1#view=detail&mid=8B0D46989CAAC10FF7368B0D46989CAAC10FF736

George seems to be playing it in C, but he throws in some other chords,
which I can't quite decode.

This guy is playing it in D with no chord change at the "?".

http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=there%27s+a+hole+in+the+bucket+chords&qpvt=there%27s+a+hole+in+the+bucket+chords&form=VDRE&first=1#view=detail&mid=56A2FDE2F7D69AA1CAAA56A2FDE2F7D69AA1CAAA

This one shows the melody line and the chords. It's in G with no chord
change at the "?":

http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=there%27s+a+hole+in+the+bucket+chords&qpvt=there%27s+a+hole+in+the+bucket+chords&form=VDRE&first=1#view=detail&mid=EA043847687D8C3A6360EA043847687D8C3A6360

So, what say you? What are the "right" chords for this little ditty?

I would think that Ms Murphy has either got it down pat or given up on
it by now. :)
