Sligo Fair Jonathan Kelly
Sligo Fair by Jonathan Kelly
Tuning: EADGBE
Like the other tabs I?ve done (although they?re not technically tabs of course) this
chord names as they would be without a capo. But for this and The Ballad or Cursed Anna,
capo second fret on the original LP/CD. Enjoy.

Way above the Northern coast, the seagulls circle high.

As to the West the sinking sun spills gold across the sky.

And homeward wends the Friesian herd to the ending of their day.
