sharon back i have listened to recordingd ot the maori way of playing and the was I learnt as an irish tradition. Seems to be a lot more doubling of note with N Z than IRL. I play if in 4/4 time with the first 3 note on the up beat. Its all in crotchet counting here. Hope you can follow it . Remember !st three note upbeat after that will put in numbers for lenght of beats. Have also put in the harmony below it. As i play it. Verse D B A | G2 B3 D G F* E5 A A G F*2 A3 D E F* G5 Chorus G A B C2 C3 E G C B5 GG A B A2 A3 D E F* G5 (*=SHARP) Harmony D D' C | B2 D'3 B B D' C5 C C C D'2 D'3 D'C D' B5 B C D' C2 C3 C C C B2 G2 B B BCD' C2 C3 D' C D' B2 D' C B ('=HIGH NOTE) Hope you can follow this. Ps not always played at weddingd , I have never heard it played at a wedding but have heard it played as an instrumental for the offeratior at any mass service. Best of luck. Sharon
