Dark Eyed Molly     3/4     Stan Roger     Archie Fisher
Standard Tuning /                       Submitted by Ken Lee kandvlee@shaw.ca
Intro: Three bars E Arpeggio    (base E then (B F Ab B E B E @ 3))
        Finger an E chord and play bottom 5 strings repeating 5/6
        Played as Intro and at end of every line. Phrasing very tricky, drawn out and sped up, I have tried      
        to transcribe accurately but not 100%.  Close enough for Government work.
