Any 'catters who know what tuning Christy uses on "So do I"? I think he plays it in G (or A by using a capo on the second fret), but I can't figure the open tuning.

I'm fairly sure that Christy Moore doesn't use any open tunings, but the sixth string (low E) is tuned up a semitone to F. I can imagine no possible advantage to this. If you watch him you will notice that to play a G chord, for example, he frets the sixth string at the second fret with his thumb. Apart from this piece of unnecessary weirdness he plays in standard concert tuning.

I have just uploaded my version of Wally Page's song "So Do I" using chords I have worked out that seem to fit better than any I found elsewhere on the internet:

I have noticed that he puts capo on first fret and plays standard chords but he is in concert pitch so his guitar must be tuned down a half tone.Dont know what benefit that is .

Here's my transcription of the song.

SO DO I
(Wally Page - as sung by Christy Moore)

This is the day the fishermen like
And so do I
When the rain puts a shine on the chestnut spikes
Hear the curlews cry
The nightingale sings her best
We'll drink a pint in Hamilton's Rest
And the girl I love wore a muslin dress
And the fishermen dream of the sun in the west
And so do I
And so do I

Now I can see
Since the girl that I love dearly
Has cast her loving spell on me

This is the day the cuckoo likes
And so do I
When the hills fall down in different shapes
And the swallows fly
To a hidden beach where no boats go
Mountain waters overflow
I hear the squealin' of the seagulls
As home they go
And so do I
And so do I

Now I can see
Since the girl that I love dearly
Has cast her loving spell on me

I'll cross the seven oceans
And forevermore I'll wander
'Till she has cast her loving spell on me

This is the day the fisherman likes
And so do I
When the rain puts a shine on the chestnut spikes
Hear the curlews cry
The nightingale sings her best
We'll drink a pint in Hamilton's Rest
And the girl I love wore a muslin dress
And the fishermen dream of the sun in the west
And so do I
And so do I
And so do I
