Hi all. I'm looking for music for the June Tabor song "Bonny May". I found lyrics.
Thanks.

I've just had a listen to Bonny May. The tune's really simple, although it's sung in B (on "Airs & Graces").
Assuming you're more comfortable playing in A than B, if you capo at the second fret and play as if you're in A, you shouldn't have any trouble working out the tune from the recording. You could also use something like Amazing Slowdowner to change the pitch and bring the key down to A.

Thanks Patrick. I can follow the tune but I'd like to get it on paper for my music book. Also I hope to work up some harmonies as well. You're right though, I prefer to play it in A. I guess I'll write it by hand and go from there.
Regards
