Late joining this thread...
In Mike Raven's book, "Don't You Be Foolish, Pray" is tabbed in standard tuning (it's a basic 3-chord trick). However, I've done it in Cmodal (CGCGCD) and it sounds more trad Eng folky that way (I think...).

Thanks both,
I ordered Mike Ravens book about six weeks ago and it was due to arrive today. Just had anothe mail saying there's going to be another 4-6 weeks delay. I have heard this book isn't very informative though so I was thinking of cancelling.

According to Need Chords or tunings for Annachie Gordon Annachie Gordon was in CGCGCD. Don't You Be Foolish Pray was in Mike Raven's book (which I don't have), but I think was in standard tuning; perhaps someone with the book can confirm or correct that.
