Here’s some tab I found...
http://www.mandolintab.net/tabs.php?...0Ship&id=01388
Thanks! I'll check out this tab. It's also on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UOW...nnel=JohnKelly without a capo. It's in Am here.
Ha, ha, actually there’s a bit of a discussion at John’s birthday thread here. https://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/g...954&do=discuss
He plays it the right way in Am, but not with Ye Olde English rhythm.
-a rhythm once loved never forgotten
-although John Spiers and Jon Boden play it in jig rhythm.
-although they play it in Dm
Note: please don’t visit the above thread without wishing John a happy birthday. Thank you.

There are two ships involved. This is the happy one.
The Minor Rigged Ship is similar in some ways, it’s a ship, but it’s quite different.

"Going to the Wedding to Get a Piece of Cake"
Cary Fagan
I often tend to work on tunes in groups. Presently playing Texas (a.k.a. Newcastle), Roscoe, and Georgia (a.k.a. Ain't No Hell in Georgia). Also dusting off a slow oooky version of Hog Eyed Man (a.k.a. Sally in the Garden).
Waiting for the Federals
Now I'm retooling all my fiddle tunes to the octave mandolin. Pinky struggles! Position struggles! Tempo struggles!
Having a blast!

That’s a great tune and really nicely played, thanks Mike.
You’re welcome, of course. Be sure to listen to the Montana Mandolin Society do their take on it.

That's it! I got it originally when they first came out. At that time I was building a duet repertoire with a guitar player and I was focused on my mandolin. Now with COVID, not doing that! So, I tuned it up and walk about the yard playing my tunes. I'm having a few struggles and a few successes. Just challenging my brain and my fingers!
Really enjoying the sound; however. And, it's good for technique to wrangle such a beast!

Spending time learning and relearning a few rags. Once you learn one, it gets easier to learn many others.

Been wanting to record this for quite some time, so it’s just been my latest fiddle tune.
Here’s the TAB, hope I got it about right.
Enjoy, and Happy Christmas!
