Whistle

Does anyone know where i can get the sheet music for as I roved out ? :confused:

2

Which one? As I Roved Out (Andy) or As I Roved Out (Christy)?

If you are looking for As I Roved Out (Andy), I just put up a clip here. Easy enough to play along: D whistle, start on E.

Like this: EG |A3B AGEF | G … etc.

Second phrase starts on hi d going up to g.

I don’t know if this will help you or not:

I think it is a different version than the one Bloomfield put up a clip for.

That’s As I Roved Out (Christy).

It’s a very common lyric in the folk songs of the British Isles. There was also another version in the mid-70s by Scottish folk-rockers “The JSD Band” [ some years before Andy or Christy’s versions ], but that’s maybe a bit obscure. :slight_smile:

Thank goodness! I was so scared maybe they were really the same and I just couldn’t tell. :laughing: I listened and followed the music and they seemed different, …but you might have been doing some extra fancy things or something.
