Gaelic Storm - Courtin In The Kitchen

a fun little gaelic storm version of a classic . it is my first attempt
at figuring a song out and , while basic , i hope some may find it of use!
i don’t know how to differentiate the barre chords from the open , so i
used the asterisk . criticism ( improvements ) welcome!
