The Sleeping Tortoise

This is the first tune of "The Tortoise and the Hare" Set
of Flooks new album "Haven".
I think it was composed by Brian Finnegan.
Have fun playing. I love it and it's very easy going.

It was composed by Sarah Allen and the tune is in fact in B dorian - though the notation here is in E dorian which comes to the same thing if you play it like i do on an A whistle...

Thx

Oh thank you.
Yes you're right but as you say "it comes to thesame thing...".
Can someone write down the guitar chords?
