Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. There is a playful interplay between 'wig' and 'whig' in the title and alternate title. The Whigs are a political party, while the older title 'Leather the Wig' title means to thresh a wig. However, the connection becomes more clear understanding the hairpiece symbolizes the Whig party.
