Chord/Tab for Blind Harper

Does anybody out there have a chord/tab for Andy Irvine/Nic Jones song "The Blind Harper"? I suspect that it's relatively simple but I'm an old fart who picked up music after the age of 50 and so need a crutch. Any help greatly appreciated.

if you mean this one, it's done in D if the guitarist is anyone to go by.

The chords are D, Bm, G and A. That's all. If that's not enough help, I'll take a stab at inserting the chords into the lyrics. Let me know.

PS, I don't understand tabs. And if you require a different key, please say which one.

That's the one, thanks. I had matched the D and G and figured there was a Bm in there but hadn't placed it yet, I think my ear's good enough to catch on and find the placement of that and the A now that I have confirmation. The guitarist is Paul Brady, no slouch himself.

Again, much appreciated.

Good. If it doesn't come together for you, please revive the thread and I'll be happy to help.

PS Good song.

It works nicely in DADGAD tuning.
