Hello, does anyone have the music notation or chords for the traditional song Yarmouth Town, I've searched all the regular sites, but only the words seem available. Many thanks keith

Hi Keith

 

This page has it listed under "Great Big Sea" on the left. It's the bottom song, with a couple of alternate titles and history. They won't allow a direct link other than the main page.

There is one version with midi here:

An abc version on this page:

Thanks

I found this abc which is slightly different to the tune I know, in particular the line 'Won't you come down, won't you come down, won't you come down to Yarmouth town?' is repeated in the version I'm familiar with.
