This is originally a bagpipe tune, don’t know if anybody's ever tried it before but I decided to give it a shot and attempt writing it. If you want to hear the real version, go on a search website (google, wikipedia, youtube, etc...) and I’m sure you can find it. I did this all by ear. (This is also only about 1/8 of the song, I can’t figure out what comes next)
