GUEST,Uncle Jaque	Tune Req: Nut Brown Maiden / Shores of Avalon (20)	RE: Tune Req: Nut Brown Maiden / Shores of Avalon	23 Dec 04
Right then; I'm missing something! Maybe I have to hear it sung for the connection to click; the next best thing might be to see the lyrics lined up under the notes by syllable. Metricly speaking, "Avalon" is in "Sevens", in that each line has 7 syllables. About any song that is metricly compatable would do. I assume that the tune is old / trad, while the lyrics are contemporary, are they not? I also find myself playing a low "D" in the end of the 6th bar where it shows the paired F and A; it's sort of the unwritten element of that chord and just sounds right for some reason. (remember; I transposed up to "D" - ##). D is where I suspect most Fiddlers would play it, too.
