Hi,
Just wondering does any one know where i can get chords and lyrics to 'The Flying Dutchman" Don't know who wrote it or who originally recorded it. I think Cristy Moore does a version of it.
Go raibh maith agat, Urs
Ursula, is this the song (Tori Amos)?
Found it at 'http://text.csn.ul.ie/~danny/tabs/a/amos_tori/flying_dutchman.crd' so I dont claim any credit for the tab.
to print this out copy&paste it into word and change the font to 'courier'
Regards

FLYING DUTCHMAN by Tori Amos
From the U.K. single "China"
Please Note: Attempting to transcribe piano music into something readable on
e-mail poses difficulties, but with a song like "Flying Dutchman" those
difficulties are multiplied greatly.

Hi Des,
Thanks for that, but it's not the right one. I think it may be just called 'the dutchman' with no 'flying'...i'm not sure. i've only heard it a coupl o times over the years...
I'll give the Tori Amos a go anyway,
Thanks again...
Urs
