Jonathan Kelly — Sligo Fair
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. Intro: Am7, Em7, Am7, Em7, Am7, Am7, Em7 AFmaj7 She goes down to meet her Mam(?), returning from the fields. AFmaj7 A wicker basket on her arm and a spaniel at her heels. GAm BAEm And as she picks wild flowers she wonders should she go or stay. AEAm Now that Sligo Fair is just a week away. Am7, Em7, Am7, Em7 AFmaj7 Her mind is on the back seat of the traveller?s caravan Amaj7 Headed for the city and to a new life she could plan.
