Murray MacLeod	Chords Req: Tinkerman's Daughter / Red Headed Anne (33)	RE: Chords Req: Tinkerman's Daughter / Red Headed Anne	27 Jan 13
Well, I take your point Steve ...Ian does rather make it into a bit of a 3/4 jollification ...I grant you that ...but the point is that he does sing the tune as Mickey did, even if his interpretation might be considered a tad upbeat for the tastes of some people ... I quote from my post 11 years ago .. "Along the Faele River that bordered his land ". That is the line that so many singers take the easy way out on. That line (and the corresponding line on the other verses) , is what we are debating about . And which, IMO , makes or breaks the interpretation of the song. Denny Bartley's version I have to say, with profound regret , doesn't do it for me.( quite apart from his following the Niamh Parsons apostasy) The DADGAD chords are just too undefined and "in your face " for what is a very sensitive song. The chords I gave above 11 years ago are all that you need.
