I recall seeing some swing chords for Fisher's Hornpipe in the back of Richard Lieberson’s "Old-Time Fiddle Tunes for Guitar". I have loaned the book and can't recall who has it. If anyone could give me the swing progression from this book I would appreciate it.

Sorry I can't find this book, but I've found a relative chord   https://benfarmer.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Fishers-Hornpipe-Guitar.pdf

Thanks a lot GUEST,20°.
These are the standard chord changes for Fisher's Hornpipe.
Richard Lieberson's changes are more jazzy with chord substitutions.

Can’t imagine how it would sound with swing chords! I’m with Guest and play it in D using the 3-chord trick, as I don’t have lots of fancy chords on my B/C buttonbox!

PHJim, this might not be the answer you are looking for but I just did a search on Richard Lieberson’s "Old-Time Fiddle Tunes for Guitar" and there are copies available for sale from various online booksellers. Plan B, maybe? :-) There might even be an online archived copy somewhere in the vast regions of the 'net.

(A couple of suggestions from an ex-librarian. Sorry! Can't help my bookish impulses. LOL)
