The Pogues' South Australia

[SiFi]

G'day all,

A little while ago some kind soul found me the name of the instrumental the Pogues play at the end of their version of South Australia (Salmon Tales Up The Water).

I've always wanted to learn it so I hunted around the web for transcriptions or midis that might be close to the Pogues version. I came up a blank, and in the end decided to try to transcribe it myself.

Anyway, I thought I'd post it here in case anyone would like it. I am more than happy to be corrected if I've got anything wrong; I haven't been blessed with anything even vaguely approaching perfect pitch, so my transcription skills have never been great (and have been pretty much dormant since the kids came along!). The chords are from a Pogues tab site and seem to fit OK.

(Copy and paste into Word or the like and change the font to Courier.)

Cheers,

Simon
