Dubliners - Quare Bungle Rye

an old tune a crazy aunt used to sing to us as kids in ireland ,
many many moons ago .

also Am guessing this will be one of the least searched for songs
on ug , but since there’s not another version on here , thought i’d
put up how i play it .

stick a capo on most any fret to bring it in the key for your voice

and as always . . . . . . any mistakes are mine
