KEVIN BARRY (Diatonic)


This has been taken from http://harptabs.com/song.php?ID=18154 [WALTP]
and the Chromatic original automatically converted to diatonic using
SEYDEL-TabTool online.

It is quite challenging to play because of the low bends
and I have difficulty making sound anywhere near as smooth 
as the original chromatic version, but am still practising !

There is a nice video by Wolfe Tones . . .

In Mount-Joy jail one Mon-day morn-ing 
 +2  +3 +5  +4  +3  +2   -1 
High up-on the gal-lows tree 
-3  +4  -4 +4  -3  -2bb -3bb  +3
Kev-in Bar-ry gave his young life 
-2b  +3  -3  -3bb -2bb +3  +2 
For the cause of   lib-er-ty 
 +1 +2  +3  +3  -2b  +3  -3bb  +3
But a  lad of  eight-een sum-mers 
+2 +3 +5  -4  +3 +2 -1 
Yet   no-one can de-ny 
-3 +4    -4  +4   -3   -2bb  -3bb  +3 
As he walked to  death that morn-ing 
+3   -2b  +3   -3  -3bb  -2bb -1  +1 
He proud-ly   held his  head  on high
