Subject: RE: Ellen Vannen
I heard this song the other week on an ancient spinners record in my mums collection. I wanted to play it but have found very little mention of it on the internet so figured out the chords myself. Not sure how good they are but this is what I came up with...
Cm Fm Cm
Snaefell, Tynwald, Ben My Chree
Cm Gm Cm
Fourteen ships had sailed the sea
Cm F Dm(?) Gm
Proudly bearing a Manx name
Cm Gm Cm
But there's one will never again
Fm Cm Fm Cm
Oh Ellan Vannin, of the Isle of Man Company
Fm Cm Gm Cm
Oh Ellan Vannin, lost in the Irish Sea
