HILLS OF TARA, THE. AKA and see "If There Weren't Any Men (in the World)," "Pearl O’Shaughnessy's Barndance (2)." Irish, Barn Dance. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Philippe Varlet says the tune is mistakenly called "If the Weren't Any Men" in Martin Mulvihill's 1986 1st Collection. Both the Four Provinces and the Garryowen Irish Orchestra recorded the tune in the 78 RPM era under the "Hills of Tara" title. In fact, one can see the four traditional provinces of Ireland from the Hills of Tara.
