Subject: RE: A Hard Year
Hey, Tinker:

I've been singing this in the key of C, but playing along with the midi file it seems to be in the key of A. The chord pattern is simple enough that you could easily transpose it into whatever key works best with your voice.

These would be the chords in the key of A, to play along with the mid file:

A                      D
One thing certain we all know

A                      D E
All things will come to pa-ss

A                              D
So when the darkness blinds the light

A                  E A
We know it will not la-st


A                                 D
For the good old days are still to come

A                            D E
Though the hard times are not o-ver

A                           D
For we must wear that thorny crown

A                   E   A
To walk the fields of clo-ver


The chord changes on "pass", "last", "over" and "clover" reflect that all four of those words are broken into two notes. I'm sorry I am such a cro-magnon man on musical notation, but we all have our limitations. If I can find my tape of me doing the song, I'll send off a copy to you..
