Guys I don't wish to be rude but this discussiobn is starting to look like a printed version of a social work meeting.

I appreciate the 'different versions' arguments, but as I posted - the Les Wilson version is the one with which I am familiar. It's on You Tube.

If someone who still HAS the ability to listen to a song being sung and work out the chords could please do so to this version, writing them down (one verse should do as I believe they're all sung the same way?) in the manner I've already outlined: ie

" I tend to transcript my songs thus: (Wild Mountain Thyme)

       G       C          G
O the summer time has come

          C                   G
And the trees are sweetly bloomin'"

Thank you all for your comments thus far
