Good. Another of life's little mysteries solved. When I first learned this tune I accompanied it is Em. When I heard Archie Fisher (and I've just recalled that it was a programme about the area where there the Tam Lin story is said to have taken place)I noticed that, although the tune ends in E and has one sharp, he ended with a C chord. And I started using somewhat idiosyncratic chords myself. I could be talking total nonsense here.

But what about that "Battle of Otterbourne" tune? Has anyone got a source for that?

"Fause Foodrage". It's not in the Digitrad. I know it's in the Child Ballad site (89) but it takes about three hours to download. Slight exaggeration.

Oh, and thanks.
