Hello, I am a brand new member of this forum, it looks like a very good find. I certainly love playing and discussing folk music. :)

Anyway, I would really like to know what chords Richard Thompson is playing over "Reynardine" on [Liege and Leaf]. I've been unable to find this info on-line, and am not yet at the point in my guitar playing where I recognize them by ear. So any help would be vastly appreciated.

It's on youtube being done by Andy Irvine. He does quite an [advanced' intro, but the chords seem basic enough. Do you have a stanza and chorus you could post? I'll try to put the chords in it for you.

PS, it's done in an open or model tuning. Pentangle has an easier one on Youtube.

Here are a couple of stanzas from the song, it doesn't really have a chorus.

One evening as I rambled
Among the leaves so green
I overheard a young woman
Converse with Reynardine

Her hair was black, her eyes were blue
Her lips as red as wine
And he smiled to gaze upon her
Did that sly old Reynardine

I will check those videos, thank you, Peace.

Thank you, Richard. You just saved me a pile of listening.
