My mom used to listen to these records by this Scottish singer during the 60s and I didn't think they were cool then, but now I appreciate them quite much (of course I was about 7 when she played them in 1967). There are a few songs that I like, and I think I figured the chords out, but since I'm from out here I can't understand all the words, because he's a Scot, and they speak in a tweaked way, relative to us in CA (you're not going to jump on me for that are you? I'm just having a sense of humor fun about it)...
This is all from memory...
There's a song that starts, "Far away and o'er the moor..." and closes off with "By the light of the peat fire flame" (must be the name of the song, Peat Fire Flame) but I can't remember the words, or that is, the words I remember are what John Carroll of the SF Chronicle calls mondegreens: gibberish that I substituted 'cause I didn't hear it right. Thanks for any help. I'd like to sing it for my mom on her birthday. If you know the chords, then gosh that'd be great, too!
