Tin Whistle tabs
I have them, I will place a link soon
and also I found a fault in the sheetmusic, what was placed good in the ABC, 3rd line, the first two b's, had to be placed with a dot after the note, so what was written in the ABC with a "3".

But I haven't listened to the original for years so it's probably totally different.

Galway Girl by Steve Earle
Except for the additional ABC version of the tune kindly provided by DonaldK you would have no idea from all of the information provided by the Session.org that this modern tune was written by Steve Earle from Virgina, USA. The "official" Sessions ABC file does not even include a "C:" (composer) line. Kind of odd for a tune written in 2006? I think this should be corrected -- one did not know better you would think Galway Girls is a "traditional" Irish song?

C: Steve Earle, from Virginia
This is a repeated topic and our webmaster, Jeremy, feels that such things can be dealt with here in the 'comments', as you have done. It is good to give credit where it is deserved, and better late than never...
