18 May 07 - 10:02 PM (#2056078) Subject: Chord Req: John Doyle - bitter the parting From: Gillies Hi I'm looking for the chords/lyrics to a couple of songs by John Doyle. The first is on his 'Wayward Son' album, called "bitter the parting" which he shares vocals with the wonderful Kate Rusby. The second tune I'm looking for is track 2 on 'Evening comes early' and the track's called "the blue diamond mines" which may or may not be a trad Appalachian tune? Cheers |

The "Blue Diamond Mines" that I'm familiar with was written by Jean Ritchie (kytrad on Mudcat, should you want to try to PM). She has recorded it on the LPs "A Time For Singing" and "Clear Waters Remembered". Most of "A Time..." found its way on to CD on the Rhino Handmade CD "Mountain Hearth & Home" and the Song served as the title tune to The Johnson Mountain Boys CD "Blue Diamond" on Rounder. The publishing rights are held by Geordie Music Publishing Co. Hope this all helps. |

But you can start there! It basically just repeats that progression over and over, with a few exceptions... |

It's pretty fluid the way John plays it, but totally workable. Mind you that hes also using an open tuning, standard tuning won't sound as rich and bass heavy. good luck |
