    Ah, well necessity is a the mother of learning.

    Once you've learned it, you'll be glad you did.

    You can cut and paste the.abc text into mandolintab.net to get the tab (while you’re learning the notation of course) when the site hopefully comes back online (they need $). Or a slightly more complex way is to paste it into musescore.com (costs) or tabledit (costs) or an abc player like Tunebook SD for iphone which will not give tab but at least you can hear the tune played and slowed down, whatever, like a metronome.
    Good luck.
