Sailors Hornpipe Tab

by Mike Oldfield


This is tabbed from the last two minutes of the origonal Tubular Bells - Part Two, but 
also a traditional song.

In Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells version of The Sailor's Hornpipe, he speeds it up after 
repeat.

The tune is split between two parts, Let's call them One and Two.
