I can't even find the dots to #3, so definitely, no chords.

Bulwer's No.1 and No.2 are polkas.

Ditto. I was in a band that played 1 and 2, and dropped onto this thread out of curiosity.

It took some finding, but now I've found it I've put the ABC up on mandolintab.net - not visible yet but it should appear in their index eventually:

The second half in particular is rather music-hall-ish, and I wouldn't be confident of chording it idiomatically.

I see Jack's point, but since I'm not known as a coward, here's my go, as folkish as I can manage:

Ta guys, but my request is for the CHORDS...

Grishka did that.

twerp, in my previous message, you find each chord symbol between two "s. The rest of the ABC code (the Mudcat standard) is copied from Lester's link above. To display and play ABC tunes, including chords, install an "ABC notation" software such as EasyABC or ABCExplorer.

Lovely tune. Very different to the two standard polkas and I can imagine many a music hall style song lyrics fitting in to it. I listened to Lester playing it and was pleasantly surprised to note that it is new to me.

I've just about got it now and will give it a whirl on mandolin at a club on Sunday night.

Thanks to all. Excellent thread.
