Dia daoibh / Hi everybody...
I came across this song quite some time ago, and I'm currently learning to play it... The thing is that I can't make out any of the intros I've heard to this song, so I was wondering if anybody out there could give me a hand on that (come on, I know some of you out there _do know_ this one! :P) It would be great to include the first verse of the song as well, just in case I play it in a different key. Well... hope someone can help me out with this one :) Wish you all the best, Keltic Banshee |

Could this be correct maybe... But the intro wasn't included in this one..(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
The reason i left Mullingar...Capo 2nt Fret [EM] I walked through this[D]city a[C]strang[G]er, In a [F] land I can [C] never call[G]ho[D]me, I [EM] cursed the sad [D] notion that [C] caused[G]me, In [EM] search of my fortune to [D] roam. CHORUS I [EM] remember that [D] bright april [C] morn[G]ing, When I [F] left home to [C] travel a-[G]far[D], But to [EM] work till your [D] dead for a [C] room and a [G] bed, Is not the [G] geason I [D] left Mullin[G]gar. Sl�n, Fanstyg |

QUOTE(Fanstyg @ Nov 4 2005, 02:16 PM)  Could this be correct maybe... But the intro wasn't included in this one..(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Yep, that's the way I play it, and no matter where I looked I couldn't find an intro for it... I recently got a version of the intro, still learning to play it (I find it easier to play when I've seen someone play than when I read scores)... I could post it here if anyone else is interested (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Wish you all the best, Keltic Banshee |

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) |

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) |
