Tablature for "the snows they melt the soonest"

I've done a lot of hunting on the net for the song "the snows they melt the soonest." I can't seem to find tab for it. Such a pretty song. I'm in the process of learning DADGAD and want to try my hand at playing this song.
Does anyone have it, knows where on the net I could get it, or what collection/book it might be in?
Thanks!

I was suprised to see this tune mentioned. I'm no help re: the written music, but , I learned this tune by listening to Dick Gaughan's recording of it on his Handful of Earth CD. A GREAT CD.

It's in (I believe) the latest edition of Sing Out magazine. No tab, just standard notation.

The song is actually in:
Sing Out; Volume 45, #1, Spring 01; page 32/

I wish I had a scanner but alas I don't. I have copied it from microfilm, so if anybody wants a copy, email me off board and I will mail you a copy.

or, you could search their site for the midi and get midinotate and it'll make the sheet music up for you

Thanks Loren, one of the few databases I keep forgetting about. And my offer stills stands to mail it to anyone who wants it. Snail mail is a photocopy from Sing Out and includes the words and guitar tabs to the song.

A great CD indeed. And if you want Gaughan's comments on how he plays it go to

It doesn't matter what other version you might have, you NEED this one.
