ABC Format for One Bottle More

Traditional Scots Irish, Ulster Scots music for the fife

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

Low Half (played twice).

Intro G E (this is basically an upbeat to come into the first bar)
(1) D B DD B D
(2) D B D D
(3) E D E E D E
(4) E D E F# G G
(5) B A B D' C# D'
(6) E' D' E' G' F#' E'
(7) D' G' D' B A B A
(8) G E E G E (at this point go back and repeat 1 through 7 and then play bar 8*, basically you're playing the G E notes as an upbeat again in the same way you would do at the intro bar)
(8*) G E E

High Half (played twice)

Best way I can figure this is there is a variation in bar 21 second time through the high half. As you go through the high half on the second go through, play bar (21*) instead of bar 21.

(17) D' B D' D' B D'
(18) D' B D' E' F#' G'
(19) D' B D' D' B D'
(20) G' D' B A
(21) G' F#' G' E' D' E'
(21*)G' F#' E' D' C# D' C (natural)
(22) B A B A G B C#
(23) D' G' D' B A B A
(24) G E E
