Hi I've had this tune stuck in my head since visiting Scotland a few weeks back. I'm trying to work out the chords to Ossian's (Tony Cuffe's) version of this song. The recording I have is in F with simple C and Bb and Fsus chords fitting in but with a lot more going on, but with all the interesting instrumentation I'm having trouble figuring out just what some of the chords are ...any body know this version. ROAD TO DRUMLEMAN (Tony Cuffe and Willie Mitchell) Oh the springtime returns to the Lagan again And the lark sweetly sings o'er the green fertile plain And I'll tak' the road that is dearest to me The road to Drumleman that winds tae the sea For I've made many friends there on every green mile And the folk always greet me with a wave and a smile If I spent all my days here it's happy I'd be On the road to Drumleman that winds to the sea For we sat roon the fireside when the winter winds blew And we laughed and we sang till the night was weel through Then we had a good dram and a wee cup o' tea For the road to Drumleman that winds to the sea And the lang summer days when we tramped the hills o'er Or spent hours at the Eenans o' Creggan's wild shore And the soft summer twilight made shadows to flee From the road to Drumleman that winds to tae the sea Oh these days passing swiftly bring changes I know And as time marches on from this place I must go But I'll always remember while the heart beats in me The road to Drumleman that winds tae the sea By Tony Cuffe and Willie Mitchel of Cambleton Scotland https://nirinlynch.bandcamp.com/track/the-road-to-drumleman
