Different opening
Actually I'll correct myself, Brendan Begley plays it as Port a' Bhand, the Chieftains play it in their Dingle set (the one with the Wren boys).
To my ear the |dfd ece| parts are played in both cases as |dAd cBc| giving it much less of a leitrim fancy knockoff feel.

We play this as follows: first part bit like Strike the Gay Harp.
