i was trying to figure out the melody for paddy's green shamrock shore, but was getting little joy. i keep getting "in the month of january" by john faulkner and dolores keane instead.

i mean paul brady's version of shamrock shore.

so does anyone know of tablature for these tunes, and are they essentially the same?

well that gives the gaelic source for the lyrics and the tune used by paul brady , but no tablature. i'd like to play a decent version on bouzouki but i have only a bare bones version.

there is no mention of the source of the tune for "in the month of january"

however the full lyrics for the gaelic song with phoenitic pronounciation==very cool, my gaelic is all old guysborough county nova scotia. not a well preserved dialect. essentially old lochaber gaelic, which i believe is not lost in scotland and spoken by only five or six people in nova scotia--if there sre still that many.

but i can figure out a lot of the irish.

but i lust for the tune in tablature
