Irish music just can't be played by tabs, the rhythm and timing is extremely important to get the right sound. Listen to fiddle players and what they play and try to do the same on your harmonica. The most common keys are G and D (very common).

The tune is called "Drunken Sailor"

     As an Irishman, I have found after years of playin' harmonica and drinkin', that pretty much any song will suffice IF you are drinking enuff!

It's funny that, how every note you hit while drunk sounds even more perfect than the previous, and so it rolls on like a musical orgasm Tongue

Guys,
     "If every nite was a Saturday, and every morning was Sunday, I'd pray to the lord, "Please Lord Give Me The Strength To Make It One More Nite" I quote the "Right Reverand Deacon Doctor Petey Pete" imfamous maker/producer of Doctor Petey Pete's Two Ball Root Oil. Cures colds in the head, sinus trouble, sore throat, sour throat, removes blisters, able to raise a blister, eliminates rabies, scabies, and unborn baies, lily livers, bloated livers, and the "Heartbreak Of Soriosis" (you want heartbreak? my product can produce hearbreak) An antiinflamatory, yet if used properly/improperly can cause inflamation ( in cases lasting more than 4 hours, a prostitue comes in handy to relieve pressure, and talk one down) Use not recomended for the meek of heart, those who might be prone to heartfailure and those susceptable to fart hailure.

Joey,
     I use Burt's Beezwax to seal pearwood combs, if used in conjunction with 2BRO (2 Ball Root Oil) it will cause slipperiness to the point of losing "traction". A man/womans "purchase" is included in the purchase price of 2BRO. Burt's Beezwax if used with 2BRO should only be used sparingly as a lip balm.
     I appologize for not offering the product before Christmas as it makes a great gift. But apparently, 2BRO makes a great Halloween treat, and goes great with turkey, ham, roasts, and redmeat. After the Thanksgiving rush my stock was too depleted to offer my usual Christmas Club discount package.
     I will however, be offering a "New And Improved 2BRO" which will remove tattoos, and unwanted houseguests as well as the usual uses that have make it SOOO popular! Thank you for your interest SPD Joey, and am looking forward to doing business with you.
