Sad to see the site close down. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Don't have the money to buy it myself *poor student*.

Just a point of interest though: the ads aren't actually included in the deal, right, you need to apply for a new account yourself?

Banshee, thanks for sending me that intro. It's really nice.

I play it without the Capo, and then make a transition during the song to A-tuning, ergo: the one posted here with the Capo on the 2nd fret.

I can post the chords here if anyone is interested, but I'm still working on the bridge.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Despite trying to find out (literally, since I couldn't find any on the net at all) chords for Scorn not his simplicity (Phil Coulter), preferrably the Luke Kelly version, I haven't yet succeeded in finding a set that worked. It doesn't have to match Kelly, but it should work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) . Here's what I tried and got out best:

Intro:
A


A
See the Child with the golden hair
E
yet eyes that show the emptyness inside.
E A
Do we know, can we understand just how he feels
A
or have we really tried.

(repeat as above for second part of verse)

D
Scorn not his simplicity
A
but rather try to love him all the more.
E
Scorn not his simplicity
A
Oh no
E
Oh no
A
(last chorus:) Oh no

Can anybody give me any hints suggestions on how to improve this, or has anyone got a totally new chord scheme? The chords are picked and varied between A-A4, D-D4 and E-E6, after the Luke Kelly version, though I guess it wouldn't totally correspond with that.

Evil request, there. Tabs for the violin isn't that easy.. by what I know of it, they use sheet music since the tone settings on a violin are not indicated on the instrument itself and it's up to the musician to correct himself as he plays (with the due risk of beginners like myself playing off-key all the time), there wouldn't be an easy way to configure tabs I think.

However, the Dubliners d� have songbooks. Now, I realize that these are never in the setting you want them to be, but with a little musical knowledge, transposing songs should be doable.

I'm going to learn this one, since my version (in Am) is way too high.

The intro I know is actually the last part of the chorus on violin, so I tend to play those chords creatively
as an intro.

I'd love to see the intro of course, perhaps i'd take it on as well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Thank you, Irish Devil. I'm starting to like this forum, when I find the time I will read the lot of it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Thank you, Patrick. Well, me being me, I'll try to get the craic as high as it goes.. up to ninety or above, that is.
Thank you for your warm welcome!

Muirrean, danke sch�n. Ich werde versuchen viel von mich lehsen zu lassen, wenn ich Zeit habe. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Hidididdlyho!

I'm Lyrthion... I ran into this site while I was looking into lyrics. Took the liberty of registering and then trailed off as the registration mail took too long for me to wait for it, which means more than a minute or so. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Well.. about myself: I'm a student, studying International Business (and Languages).. at the moment in Germany, but originally from Amsterdam. I'm also a musician, playing (surprise!) Irish Folk and Folk music for my main repertoire. I'm a poet and a writer, which in combination with being a musician has made me a songwriter as well.

What to tell... well, why don't we make it easy on me. You ask, I answer.. saves me the bother of putting down everything you don't want to know and you the bother of reading it.
