This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Here's another traditional Irish jig (6/8 time). It follows on nicely

after "The Irish Washerwoman", which I posted a couple of weeks ago.

Standard guitar tuning {EADGBE} is used. The chords above the TAB are

suggestions only. As is common with these tunes, play part 1 twice then

part 2 twice. Suggestions/comments welcome.
