31 Jan 08 - 03:29 AM (#2249313) Subject: Chord Req: Newry Highwayman From: GUEST,Knut the Norseman Hi folks. I've just startet to try out DADGAD-tuning on my guitar, and that sure is a new, fun and exciting experience for an old standard tuning guitarplayer as myself. Now I'm trying to figure out what chords John Doyle uses on The Solas version of Newry Highwayman (on their first album and also on their great Reunion album). Anyone out there i Mudcat-land who knows and could help me out on this one? |

31 Jan 08 - 05:01 PM (#2249901) Subject: RE: Chord Req: Newry Highwayman From: GUEST,van lingle I play that one in Dropped-D (I believe John Doyle does as well). I got the chords off the Solas version and what I came up with goes like this: Intro D/ C/ G/ C/ D/ C/ G/ Am/ C/ D/ C/ D/ C/ G G D C G In Newry town I was bred and born, D C G In Stephen's Green now I lie in scorn. Am C D I served my time in the saddling trade, G C D I always was the rovin' blade, G C G I always was the rovin' blade. Instrumental Bridge: Em/ Bm/ C/ D/ C/ D Em/ Bm/ C/ D/ C/ D/ C/ G That's the way I hear it, good luck. Oh, also a 2nd position G chord without the 3rd (lift up your middle finger to eliminate the B and sound the G at the third string) works well throughout and Solas used the bridge as an intro in some versions, as I recall. vl |

29 Aug 13 - 04:35 PM (#3554211) Subject: RE: Chord Req: Newry Highwayman--Alison's ABC From: GUEST If looked up the ABC tutorials and may have gone snowblind before I found it, but could you please explain the lowercase "z"? Or if you're feeling generous, the whole thing? I just don't seem to be processing what I'm reading on the various sites. I've been reaing notes, and tabs for long and long, and maybe I'm just stuck in a Geezer-Mind-Rust zone on this. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, CharleyD2 |

I sing the Solas version of this but reading through the above ABC it doesn't sound like the Solas version. I learned this by ear in D and find that the chords that Van Lingle posted above seem to be very close to what Doyle plays on the Solas recording. Good luck. |
