Joe,

Waaaaay back on September 29, 2004 you posted the lyrics for The Little Land. You said you could provide the tune (chords?) if asked to transcribe it. Is that, ah... offer (sorry, Joe) still good?

I've seen the two YouTube recordings and I think the slightly different melody I remember may be because I always seem to associate it with The Limeliters (it was on their Sing Out album). Never realized when I was little that it was a Malvina Reynolds song.

For a while now the song's been going through my head and I'm curious to know what her chords were. Just returning yesterday from my first trip to Ireland has only added fuel to the fire.
