Thread Name: Chords Req: Blue Bells of Scotland
Subject: RE: Anyone play 'The Bluebells of Scotland?'
That's a nice site. I'll have to retune my dulcimer to hear the songs, maybe even new strings...but I'm always looking for arrangements that can be played solo...not just the chord changes.

As far as the last line of Blue Bells of Scotland, none of the arrangements I've seen so far have anything unusual in them...just a I, IV, I, V7, I. I'm wondering if you just hear the words as sad, or if it's possible to substitute an umpteenth minor dimished somethingorother chord somewhere.
