Tab and notes by Robert Bulkley

Okay, here's a Celtic tune in TAB- I've also heard this or something very like it entitled "Freize Britches." I arranged this after enjoying the vocal version by PLANXTY. Try playing this in jig style- picking pattern is (with emphasis): DOWN-up-down-DOWN-up-down, DOWN-up-down-DOWN-up-down, etc., etc. It's in D and goes kind of modal- D-major in section A + B, then D with a flat 7 in section C. Each section repeats... jig time (6/8, accents on 1 & 4)

Key of D
