ah right was just wondering cause the chords wouldn't normally be written in from a recording, i wouldn't be able to work them out anyway, so fair play. I know the tune, or something close to it, now name for it though sorry.

Looks like a version of the Cullen Jig: http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/469

Yes, that must be it! Thanks, Miss Lonelehearts.

tnoumarap, I wrote the chords in to give to a guitar player.

A slightly simpler setting of it was also posted here: http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/7600

And for future reference, JudyK, since you went to all the trouble to transcribe it to ABC, if you just took a snippet of the tune and put it in my tune search page (http://abctunesearch.com), it would have told you the answer.

For example, if you just put in :

|:"G"B3 BAF|"D"Adc d2c|"G"B3 BAF|"A"AFE EFA|
"G"B3 BAF|"D"Adc dAF|"G"G3 FAF|[1 "A"EDC "D"DFA :| [2 "A"EDC "D"D3 |

It comes up with 4 results, and the first 3 are actually settings of that tune.
