    Default Johnny's Gone For A Soldier

    Not sure if this is the right place for this thread, but I am trying to learn Johnny's Gone For a Soldier (American Revolution or Civil War era song). Wondering if anyone knows it or klnows where I can find mandolin music/chords/tab for it. I know the version I want to learn is in A minor. It is a hauntingly pretty song. I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
    Thanks!!

    Here you go:

    My understanding is that it was adapted from an Irish song called "Siúil A Rún"

    I used to play it. It is a great tune.

    How about chords? I have to admit my music reading skills are not where they should be yet.

    You may be able to get some good ideas from it.

    This might help. It's pretty much the same thing over and over.
    This info came from another video on you tube. I didn't want to post it though.
