Subject: RE: Chord Req: Altan -- The Wind and Rain
Hi,

No relevance to the chords actually used by anyone, but seeing the title, I started singing the song and, well, I had a guitar standing next to me, so this is what came out:

There (A)were two (A)sisters a-(G)coming down a (A)stream
(G)Oh the (-)wind and (A)rain (A)
the (A)one be-(A)hind pushed the (D)other one (D)in, crying
(Em)oh, the (-)dreadful (-)wind and (A)rain.

Well, works for me. But probably only worth mentioning for the three no-chords I felt the melody asked for. Now that I'm typing it: These are the mentions of "wind". Apparently, they are different, somehow.

Things like that always make me wonder whether the tune mentioned in the song really existed, in this case whether there really was/is a tune called "The Dreadful Wind and Rain".

Bye
