GUEST,Alan	Lyr Req: Captain Mark [Captain Markee?] (24)	RE: Lyr Req: Captain Mark [Captain Markee?]	04 Dec 12
Mick, I've had only a cursory look at 'Nancy' as I'm stuck in the middle of a complete revision of several week's work checking all 72 word sets -thanks to you getting me on the straight and narrow.! None of them fit the scansion / metre of the tune RVW noted. Now I read stave, solfa, shape-note, chord charts and tab, but hesitate to try to create abc. Think 'He who would valiant be', or as we folkies say, 'The Captain cried, "All Hands!"' and in G and 4/4 it's D, \| G A B A G \| B D g F# \| E D B G \| A 1 \| l.5 .5 .5 .5 l \| l l l 1 \| 1 1 1 1 \| 3 That might convey the tune, though it wouldn't work in a proportional font. Bring back tapewritters! I'll stop now. Alan
