Tune of the Month for December 2018: An Italian Rant
Clive Williams:
Afternoon all - this month's winner is this quirky little beast:
Italian Rant - thanks for the suggestion Pete, good one! This is a playford tune - here's a version I rather liked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlA0RGHehpY ; you can find ABC here on Pete's original post

Looking forward to hearing efforts as ever!
Cheers,
Clive

I changed a few of the chords, but tried to retain the quirky motion of the given harmony. Perhaps overworked, but in part to prevent it from lapsing into a faux Border Morris thrash, (although it might fit well in that context). There is an out-take included (for the sake of it).
Wet and windy in Suffolk
All the best

Yeah, those chords for the linked ABC notation seem pretty off. Rather a lot of C chords for a tune that presents itself as Em. So, if anyone out there really benefits from some chord hints, much like I used to, I would take those ones with a rather large grain of salt.
Anyway, being that I play for a Border side, hopefully I'll be able to have some fun with this one.
edit - Following up the reference to the player in the youtube video being a member of Boggarts Breakfast, they share a musical score of this tune on their website that might provide an insight to the chords they were using (since they're out of frame). Here's the tune on their site: http://www.boggartsbreakfast.org.uk/wp/2015/11/happy-birthday-gogs/ - though, you'll probably want to skip the the introduction bars harkening to our short friends in the chocolate factory.

I suspect Andy Cutting plays this with a lot of C chords. It's something he quite likes to do.

[I can't make my mind up just by looking and I can't try it until tomorrow]

For some reason I only just got around to enjoying this. Your chord make sense and I find what you say about avoiding the border morris thrash interesting. That's just what I've been developing. I think it works...now I need an opportunity to record it. It will almost certainly be more vulgar than this.
I'm looking forward to someone posting a one row version.
