GUEST,Richard, Penrith Lyrics Correction: Joy of Living (Ewan MacColl) (56* d) RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Ewan MacColl's 'Joy Of Living 23 Jan 02


Jeremiah; I can't comment on the accuracy of the chords, but as a singer & hillwalker, having been up most of the hills mentioned in the 1st verse I can put you right on spelling & location; "Glyder Fach (North Wales)farewell, Cul Beag (N.W.Scotland) Scafell (English Lake District) cloud bearing Suilven" (also N.W. Scotland) Bleaklow is nowhere near the sea, being a flat peaty moorland top in the Peak District though it might resemble a "frozen sea" in winter conditions, and be easier to walk on than in a wet English summer. I've never been sure of the penultimate line of the 3rd verse; "taste that is now" seems right unless anyone has a better idea. The version on the Digitrad database is horribly mangled, an illustration of the perils of oral transmission!
