Frank An old very pleasant picking tune not that easy to play. I learnt it a long time ago but all references to that song seem to have disappeared. My fingers having a good memory, I tabbed the song from them (not that easy either !). " Catch a boat to England Baby .." (The lyrics are at the end of the tab) You can hear a MP3 demo (350 kb) recorded by myself (instrument only!) on my site whose URL is here above.
