Reel · 2/2 · D major · Suggested tempo: 1/2 = 96 BPM
A two-part reel from O'Neill's 1907 collection. This is the dance tune, not a setting of the later ballad.
The source melody is shown with a simple left-hand bass and chord accompaniment created for this site, for piano or chromatic button accordion.
Transpose Chord symbols are suggested by fisarmonica.org and are not part of the source score.
