The Unquiet Grave, The Dubliners Lyrics And Chords

This one has Luke Kelly doing the singing, a very sad folk song indeed. Guitar chords worked by Marc Fahrbach, it would seem that Luke Kelly got to sing all the slow sad songs with The Dubliners. The sheet music and tin whistle notes are included.
