You can play along with the different recordings using the appropriate songsheet! Thanks to Mike Cox for bringing this song to BUG! The Pogues version is in 6/8 time and is really fast.  Mike & Chris decided to change it up into a slower 4/4 time to make it easier to play as a BUG Jam group song. We'll be playing Mike & Chris's adaptation at the BUG Jam.

Waiting for Herb is the sixth studio album by the Pogues, released in 1993, and was their first without lead singer Shane MacGowan. The album saw the band continue to expand their musical reach past the traditional Irish roots it had been founded on, and was only their second full-length album without a single traditional song. It was the last Pogues album to feature Terry Woods, James Fearnley and Philip Chevron, all of whom left the group after the album's release.

Here is the original version for this song. It is an amazing song with so much going on instrumentally. Given enough practice and time I am sure we could do a version that better represents, but I feel the stripped down version above will work for what we want.
