Written in honour of the road through the glens in South West Donegal.

Line 5?

Seems like a mistake in line 5, not sure I've seen notation like that before. Can anybody confirm that the way it plays in the mid file is correct?

Oops

Final bar should be Ad=cA G2AG

Also, you can throw in a lot of C naturals throughout to harsh it up a bit...
