This is actually a slow air, in 6/8 time.
Also, the sharps are correct but the tune probably isn’t in Dmaj. I’m not smart enough to figure out the correct key.

The tune’s in A mixolydian (two sharps, resolves on A). For myself, I’d prefer G sharps in there as well, which would make it A major.

Thanks! I changed it to Amix.

Is this the origanal version of this tune? I need to know ASAP
