Any body worked out the chord sequence to Brown Photogrpahs by Fivepenny Piece? I've been trying to work this one out for ages.

Any help appreciated.

The basic chord sequence to this goes:

Am Ive sat on her knee for
Dm Many an hour at
E7 Brown photographs we'd be
Am Looking
Am She'd tell of the times that
Dm She's had in her life some
E7 Good some tears and some
Am laughing. She'd
F Tell of the
G Times when
C Life was so grand when the
F Mills were all
G Weaving and
C Spinning. In her
Am Bonnet and shawl at the
Dm Start of each day to
E7 Work to play then her
Am Courting

I've sat on her knee for many an hour
At brown photographs we'd be looking
And she'd tell of the times that she's had in her life
Some good some tears and some laughing
And she'd tell of the times when life was so grand
When the mills were all weaving and spinning
In her bonnet and shawl at the start of each day
To work to play then her courting

Her day it was long, most of them hard
They didn't pay much for her working
But when it were done she always came home
To a house that was poor but was loving
And she lives all alonr since my grandfathr died
She don't have the same joy of living
But she don't mope around, she's always a smile
Old fashioned advice she likes giving

She says times have changed, people have too
They're too busy fighting and grabbing
When she were lass well they hadn't much brass
But ere never frightened of giving
Now my grandfather's boots are still there by the fire
As if home from the mill he'll be coming
And as evening'll draw then you'll find her alone
By the fire, her memories living

Rpt Verse 1

I've sat on her knee for many an hour
At brown photographs we'd be looking.

Hope this is OK for you. The initial introduction is Amin followed by Am in with the first finger lifted off the string with a bit of picking around it. (I could show you but describing it is another matter!)
Let me know if you need any more information.

Cheers
Mark

Thanks very much, Mark. I've just tried it, and it's bang on. I'd worked out the Am start listening to the track, but the right sequence has been baffling me for ages and I haven't got a particularly good ear for rhythm guitar

The number chord combinations I've tried in that key - you'd have thought I'd have stumbled on it by accident.
Very much appreciated.
