Tablature for traditional songs

[Steve Temple]

Does anybody know of a website that has tablature for traditional Scottish songs? In particular Burns' songs, but any for North-east ballads would be even better. I want to adapt A Man's A Man for melodica to play over the festive season, so if anybody knows the music for that, it would be very welcome.

I'll be rolling out Fairytale of New York and Fields of Athenry on mandolin for yuletide.

Thanks, Graham, the Dick Gaughan link is very useful. Well, it's the only one I understand, but it also has plenty of other songs I'd like to play.

I think I'll stick to the (supposed) history of this side of the Irish Sea.

I tried looking for exactly this kind of thing recently and didn't have any luck. So I ended up going out and buying a book of about 100 songs with lyrics, sheet music (not tab) and chord names. It's excellent, only cost about a tenner and came with a well produced CD.

Unfortunately I can't remember what the damn thing was called. Was edited by Phil Cunningham...

I shall hunt the interweb and try and find it for you.

Also, last year I got some Burns songbooks out of the Central Library.
