Notes: Notes are 100% correct, though rhythm is not (I did my best to transpose the fiddle tab to mandolin tab, and that's it).
You have to tune the mandolin AEAE (tune 3rd and 4th strings a whole step up)

Notes: The true name of this really is "Old Piss". It was once used as a Civil War fife & Drum piece, transcribed here for 5-string banjo. Why the "vulgar" name for such a pretty tune? I don't know. Maybe someone out there knows.

Because of the nature of the tuning of the mandolin, these chords start to enter the 'Up-the-Neck' chord variety, but stay as close to O.P. as possible.
