Willie’s Lady / Son Ar Chistr - Traditional Breton Tune arr. Martin Carthy (guitar part)

Not quite sure what to call this tune. Most English-speaking people would probably associate it with Martin Carthy’s arrangement of Child’s Ballad #6 Willie’s Lady. In fact Ray Fisher, Archie’s sister was the first to put the tune and the ballad together and Martin Carthy took it on from there. The tune is in fact traditional Breton where it is know as Son Ar Chistr (Song of Cider). Once again the guitar is tuned DADEAE. The structure is: Part A A A F# G E A A G F# A A F# G E F# D E variants
