Tuning:
The other tabs for this song are not correct, or are simply rough estimates. There are not very many chords in this song, but lots of variations thereof, so I've just made some pseudo-names for them to distinguish between them. It might look a little daunting with the symbols but it comes naturally anyway. I am 100% confident that this is exactly how Foy Vance himself plays it. There is no way to tab this song without having these bizarre symbols beside each variation of each chord, because they are all the exact same chord!
