(Key D Major) F=F# C=C#

I have hi-lighted the triplets in orange text, as noted above the F and C notes are sharps. This is to keep the text area less cluttered. You can also view and print the page of this tune along with the Fairy Dance Reel which I taught at the recent Columbanus Music Festival in Bangor.
