Here are the notes to the Pogues cover of Japan
# is the the number of holes covered, * is over blown, x is when the first hole is not covered but the rest are:

42122 1x5*x122 1x5*x1224554566

Pretty simple, but sounds really nice on the whistl.

Received my whistle in the mail yesterday, and while it seems easy (or, a better word for it: doable), it's actually harder than you'd think! After a bit of failing miserably, as well as wondering whether my whistle was broken ( :mrgreen: ), I managed to make some nice sounds come out of it. Now to learn some songs!

And Dirty old town is really easy when you know where to begin and have some feeling for whistle.


Can you please, please finish this out? I'm dying to learn this tune!


I've had my whistle for about a week and came here to see if there was any Pogues sheet music. Can't find any anywhere that are not traditional. But it took me a few minutes to work out Dirty Old Town. This is more or less it on my Walton's plastic D whistle (sounds like a bloody recorder this thing, I wanna get a proper one that comes through clearly like on the Shane Macgowan CD's and Christy Moore/Macgowan Spancil Hill video):

D G A B
G A B G D
B D# E# D# B A G B
D# E# D# B
G A B G D
E G B A
A G D E

I also found some tabs to download of some more basic stuff: http://rapidshare.com/files/198958151/A ... e-Tabs.zip

If anyone has the tin whistle keys to Aisling or Snake with Garnet then post them up so I can keep stirring up the hounds in my valley.



Thank you so much!!

I just ordered a tin whistle. It comes in a "starter kit" with a book called "Learn to play the Irish tin whistle" as well as a CD. :D

It can be found on the best of the Pogues music book. Any good music shop will either have it or order it in for ya. Im a whistler meself and that has worked wonders for me. Pity a book can't be got for all there albums. I'd give an arm and a leg for a sheet music catalogue by Spider Stacey but wishful thinkin....I take it your from south dub with the way you spell all yer words. Does me head in boy but i hope this helps
