Subject: RE: LYRICS FOR STAR OF RABBIE BURNS
Yes, the chorus is the four lines "Let kings and courtiers" etc. As for the tune, I can't handle ABC or whatever, not having given any time to learning it. But you may get some hang of the tune from this: Key C, 4/4. g gg C-- b/ a C g-- g/ g C D E /D--- g/ g C C-- b/a D D-- E/ D b b a /g-- g/ F-- EDCDE/ C-- C/ D-- DE D /D-- g/g--abCDE/F-- a /g C D--C/ C--// Chorus: g /e--dc e /g--ag C /a C g C /D-- g /E--DC g /a C F[pause!!] a/g C bD-- C // Let me know if this makes sense. The held note is to the word "a'". Cheers\Murray
