Can anybody give me the chords/tuning/fingerstyle for Martin Carthy's 'The Trees They Do Grow High'? I can sing this song quite like him, and I would love to be able to play it. I've searched and searched and can't find how he's doing it anywhere :(
PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Never assume the other fellow has intelligence equal to yours. He may have more.
From what I can tell it's not available. For the tuning try this Carthy Tuning
Chuck Norris invented Kentucky Fried Chicken's famous secret recipe, with eleven herbs and spices. But nobody ever mentions the twelfth ingredient: Fear!

Thanks A&L, guess i'll just have to keep searching....

To my ears, it sounds like standard tuning with a capo at the second fret (F#m fingered like Em)...you can hear the familiar Em shape arpeggio on the top three open strings.
Martin Carthy used standard early on, and this song is fairly old, I think from the '60s, so my guess is that it's standard.
He did use EADEAE later (AKA "A pipe tuning" - relationships of the five lowest-pitched strings are the same as the five highest-pitched strings of DADGAD) and now uses CGCDGA.
