Belfast Mill Banjo Tab
I first hear The Furey Brothers And Davie Arthhur singing this song. It's a very easy tune to play for beginners. When it was written by Si Kahn it was called Aragon Mill, and I suppose it still is, but Finbar Furey changed one word ''Belfast'' instead of Aragon and a new song was born. The tab tuning is standard GDAE and also a tab in CGDA which is the same way a mandola is tuned .Included are the basic 4 string banjo letter notes for those who don't yet read tabs.
Below is the ordinary sheet music for Belfast Mill
Below is another version of Belfast Mill in the key of D Major.
The above youtube video is myself doing the singing, Joe on tin whistle, Marc on Harmonica and Eugene [R.I.P] on Accordion.
To play along with the video use the version in the key of D Above.
