Song: Auld lang syne Artist: Paolo Nutini Lyrics: Robert Burns Music: Traditional Tabbed by: DJ 23rd Dec 2012 PLEASE NOTE: This transcription is based specifically on Paolo Nutini's BBC4 performance. The video is at this link: Song starts at [0:41] Apart from some little embellishments, it's apparently closer to the original 1788 tune which Robert Burns based his lyrics on, than the more common tune that's sung around the world on New years Eve. In the video, Paolo misses out the second and fourth of Robert Burns verses, but I've included the complete song here.
