Laoise, Belfast Chords Req: Lark In The Morning etc. (30) Chords Add: IF I WERE A BLACKBIRD and MATTY GROVES 10 Jul 97


Gabh mo leascaeol Alison, I can't believe I wrote Susan. My Apologies. What I think happened was that when I started writing the message someone interrupted me - I'm at work you see. I have to write these messages on the sly. So sometimes my concentration is not all there. Alternatively, maybe it was some kind of weird magical force...

Kiwi, Here's the chords for the other two songs:

IF I WERE A BLACKBIRD

If I (Am) were a Blackbird (Em) and could whistle (G) and sing (F)
I would Follow (Am) the vessel (Em) that my true (Am) love sailed in (Em)
And in (C) the top riggin' (Em) I would there (Am) make my nest (Em)
And I'd flutter (Am) my wings (Em) on her Lily (G) white breast (F)

There is a nice run down you can do on the third line from the C to the Em using B then A as passing notes to the g of the Em chord.

MATTY GROVES goes something like this.

A Holiday (Em) a Holiday (D/Em) the first one of (G) the year (Em)
Lord Arnold's wife came into (D) the Church the gospel (C) for (D) to hear (Em)

I'm not 100% about these chords - I've no guitar here to try them out but they go something like that anyway.

Hope this helps.

Laoise
