I love this. I've been trawling through different versions of this song and this is my favourite so far. I would love to know what chords you're using so I can try playing along to it on my octave mandola.

[@timflatus]

Thank you for your kind comments. It's really just a D minor all the way through with D | C | B | Bb, C, D | against it the bass. You could analyse that as Dm, Dm7, Em7, Gm6, but it's really just a descending bass against a D minor drone if you're on a mandola.
I may have used a capo.

[@gubworm3241]

@@timflatus Thank you! That's straightforward to play but sounds great. Your version really adds something special to the song. It has solemn joy. It reminds me of going to the hills on a summer solstice to watch the sunset.

i love this

[@peteringham1014]

Great rendition. Could you tell the chords and tuning

[@timflatus]

I'm using a drop D tuning, capod to the 2nd fret iirc. See my reply to @gubworm3241

Ancient indo-european vibes, progenital scythians rise up and fling off the vines.
every war is genetic and you're neck-deep in one now.

I love using "m'dears" instead of "good sirs." More inclusive while making no artistic difference to the rhythm or sound of the song!
