etc.

This is just the vocal melody, a good starting point.  The Dropkicks new 
version has some nice tremolo picking
on the mandolin, maybe if the mood strikes me I will do a tab for it.  But 
for now, enjoy me hearties.
Timing not shown, work it out for yourselves. You have to listen to the 
track to get it.
