Subject: Chords Add: FHIR A BHATA
Yes I do it is one of my favorite songs and a frequent request from my friends. I play Fhir A Bhata (Fear A' Bhata depending on who is spelling it) on Celtic Harp and also on guitar. I usually play it in the key of D for harp since I sometimes have a flute/whistle player backing up the vocals and C (with capo)for guitar.
            Bm                   A
            Fhir a'bhata na ho ro eile
            Bm                   F#m
            Fhir a' bhata na ho ro eile
            G                D     A
            Fhir a' bhata na ho ro eile
            Bm            A         G                 A
            Mo shoraidh slan leat 'sgach ait an teid thu!
(for contrast start the verse with D instead of Bm)
