This is an easy song that nobody can seem to figure out how to play
because it's so far out of tune. I guess you cant really tune a
bagpipe, so they had to tune to it. Anyway, tune down a quarter step
(yeah, half a fret…) and then tweak it until it sounds right.
Intro: (Guitar 1)
|--------------------------------------------------------------------
|--------------------------------------------------------------------
|--------------------------------------------------------------------
|---4..4----4-----4..4----4-----4..4----4-----4..4----4--------------

Fill (Guitar 2)
|-------------------
|-------------------
|----------------4.......
|---4..4-------2-4.......
|-0-2..2--X-2H4--2.......
|-------------------
After a while, Guitar 2 changes to this rhythm part:
|--------------
|--------------
|--------------
|-4-4..4--2-4--
|-0-2..2--2-2--
|--------------

Fill:
|------7--X-7.. Guitar 1
|------7----7..
|--------------
|-4-4..4--2-4-- Guitar 2
|-0-2..2--2-2--

Chorus:
|-------------------  |-------------------------------------------------
|-------------------  |-------------------------------------------------
|-4......2…4..----OR|-----9-------------------------------------------
|-4......2…2..----  |-9-7-9-------------------------------------------
|-2......0…-------  |-9-7-7-------------------------------------------
|-------------------  |-7-5(0)------------------------------------------
Bridge:
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|-------9-----------9---------------------------------------------------
|-9-----9-------7---9---9-----------------------------------------------
|-9-----7-------7---7---9-----------------------------------------------
|-7-------------5-------7-----------------------------------------------
Then comes the solo. The bagpipe part goes:
|----7~~--
|---------
|-7H8-----
|---------
|---------
|---------
That's about it. It's pretty easy. The solo is in the 7th position.

The spacing of the notes kind of reflects the timing of the song,
but not very well.
