What's the second part?

Ok. So there’s been an ice storm, so I’ve been inside all day, and I’m at the computer reading C&F and tootling to myself on whistle - and I can’t remember the second part of this to save my life. Tried searching JC’s tune finder - no luck; tried searching Google. Possibly I’m just not searching correctly… Anyhow, it’s starting to drive me crazy. Here’s the first part. (The name, sadly, is of no importance to me, as it will be forgotten within seconds of hearing/seeing :blush:).

X:1
T: ? Jig…
M:6/8
L: 1/8
K:G

~G3 BAG | dBG GBd | ege dBG | AGA BGE | ~G3 BAG | dBA GBd | (3efg e dBG | AGF G2D :||

K - concertina.net is giving me an entirely blank page, but this is the correct abc otherwise. Help - please?

There may be another following - if I can figure out a part from a fragment… :roll:

Thank you. I think cabin fever is setting in.

Yours is a little different, but it sounds a lot like it to me.

Hmmm… that could be it. I did end up in the second part of that tune a couple of times, but then I was going into something entirely different from it, so I decided it wasn’t… Thank you!

Ships In Full Sail, I would say. Aka The King Jig. I’ve heard quite a few slightly different versions.

All the best

Deirdre, are you thinking of the third part that is sometimes played… goes something like this:

d2e dBG | e2d efg | d2e dBG | ABA ABc | ded dBG | e/f/ed efg | dBG AGA | BGG G3 |

Possibly that third part was in there somewhere - but it was so long ago now!
Seriously, thank you all for your help. I think that Ship in Full Sail is it - in whatever form it decides to take inside my head…

Great tune, a real stalwart in Chicago land.
