Big dog

This tune is from Quebec and the title is Le Grand Chein which means the big dog.

LOL I think the original title was "La Grande Chaine".

I think Chien's a much better name though :-)

BTW, the B's in bars 3 and 7 of each part should be capitals - I think you might have time to edit the ABC before Jeremy converts this to sheetmusic.

Alternative version

The version of this that I play is more like this one that I found on the leeds site. I play it with lots of D and G drones.
