I think this is originally an English traditional song, but was made famous in the 70s by Foster and Allen, a duo from Ireland. The chords work in simple strumming patterns or just play them with a simple picking method. 3|2|0|0|0|3 G x|x|0|2|3|2 D x|x|0|2|1|2 D7 x|2|4|4|3|2 Bm 3|2|0|0|0|1 G7 x|3|2|0|1|0 C

*sometimes i have heard versions where they say "labours" instead of "flavours", so use either on preference :) http://www.allcelticmusic.com/artists/Foster%20and%20Allen.html
