ABC Format for Number 5

Traditional Scots Irish, Ulster Scots music for the fife

This tune is in D Major so all C's and F's are sharp (I've written this out below, so just play it as written and it should be fine).

If you need to check the fingering chart click here, this will open in a new window.

A triplet is 3 notes played together in a single beat, so the triplet in the intro is played on an upbeat.
Low Half (played twice)
Play intro, then bars 1 to 8. Second time through the low half play bars 1 to 7 substitute bar 8* for 8. This has a high F# (F#') which will take you into the high half of the tune:

Intro A B C# (play the A B C# as a triplet)
(1) D' D F# A A
(2) D' C# D' E' F#' E'
(3) D' D F# A A F#
(4) G E E A B C# (play the A B C# as a triplet)
(5) D' D F# A A
(6) D' C# D' E' F#' E'
(7) D' D F# A A F#
(8) E D D A B C# (play the A B C# as a triplet)
(8*) E D D F#'

High Half (played twice)
First time through play 17 to 24, then last time end on bar 24* instead of 24
