Ukrainian Polka
I've known this tune for donkey's years. Got it from an old recording called "Second Generation" by "The Paddy Rocker Band" which featured Peter Ostroushko on mandolin and fiddle, and an aglo concertina player, backed by guitar and bass. This is the name they gave the tune.
Bars 1 to 8 are the intro only. Bars 57 to 64 are for the outro only. I usually play each of the three parts twice.
Intro - AABBCC repeat x 3 - Outro. Play it at a lively pace. It's great on fiddle.

Ukrainian Polka with accompaniment (guitar version)
If anyone would like to hear a version od Ukrainian Polka with accompaniment (a fingerstyle guitar version) I have a MIDI posted at this link:
http://www.iol.ie/~davy_rogers/Other%20Tunes%20MIDIs/ukrainian_polka.mid
This version gives a better idea of the usual playing speed, and, by the way, the third part is in the key of C.
