          I couldn't find a version of this old Irish tune I used
          to play back in the day, so have just worked out these 
          chords for it, think it sounds pretty ok, not too sure 
          of the D chord on the first 'when you were sweet' if 
          you can find a better way to play it, give me a shout 
          and I'll update it, this version is for picking style
          more than strumming.
                                 enjoy
                                     - if you like it, rate it -
