John in Brisbane	Tune Req: King of the Fairies (from The Dubliners) (8)	Tune Add: KING OF THE FAIRIES	31 Jan 05
This doesn't answer your original question but you can 'enhance' the trad ending by playing a G# note in your harmony, ie an E major chord. OR You could change a coupla notes at the end of the tune to finish on G Major, viz: X: 1 T: King Of The Fairies M: 4/4 L: 1/8 R: hornpipe K: Edor \|:B,2\|EDEF GFGA\|B2B2 G2GA\|B2E2 EFGE\|FGFE D2B,2\| \|EDEF GFGA\|BAGB d3c\|B2E2 GFE_E\|E6 :\| \|d2\|e2e2 Bdef\|gagf e3f\|e2B2 BABc\|dedc BcdB\| \|e2B2 Bdef\|gagf efed\|Bdeg fedf\|e6 ef\| \|g3e f3d\|edBc d3e\|dBAF GABc\|dBAF GFED\| \|B,2E2 EFGA\|B2e2 edef\|e2B2 BAGF\|E6\| \|d2\|e2e2 Bdef\|gagf e3f\|e2B2 BABc\|dedc BcdB\| \|e2B2 Bdef\|gagf efed\|Bdeg fedf\|e6 ef\| \|g3e f3d\|edBc d3e\|dBAF GABc\|dBAF GFED\| \|B,2E2 EFGA\|B2e2 edef\|e2B2 BAGD\|G6\| A fairly unsophisticated finish, but this could be used as a seguee to a song in G Major. The alternative ending note is B Natural which gives the ambiguous possibilities of resolving to E Major or G Major. Regards, John
