Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Mrs. McGrath From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 23 Dec 99 - 07:49 PM with my voice, any song benefits with an instrument playing along...and an instrument playing the harmony is a great aid to finding the tune for those of us who are somewhat challenged when it comes to reading music (oh, I know, folk music isn't written down, it's orally transmitted). --seed |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Mrs. McGrath From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 23 Dec 99 - 06:16 PM Some songs don't benefit from having instruments playing along, and this is one of them. |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Mrs. McGrath From: kendall Date: 23 Dec 99 - 03:45 PM who was it who said "Hell, there aint no notes on a banjo, you just play it." ?? |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Mrs. McGrath From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 23 Dec 99 - 02:52 PM oops, again. It should have read "the hand movement (in double C tuning on the banjo capo at the second fret) down from the 2nd position D...because, of course, such a banjo is tuned to double D not double C babblebabblebabble. --seed |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Mrs. McGrath From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 23 Dec 99 - 02:44 PM Oh, lord. I see I forgot to replace the apostrophe and quotation marks when I uploaded this from Claris Works: for some reason HTML reads CW quotes and apostrophes as apostrophe: 1 open quote: 2 close quote: 3 as for the chorus chords, I find Bmin works just as well as G: it doesn't change the overall sound all that much, and--when playing accompaniment, I'm as apt to play the Bminor, but in a break, the hand movement (in double C tuning on the banjo) down from the 2nd position C is a bit smoother to G than to Bminor. --seed |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Mrs. McGrath From: kendall Date: 23 Dec 99 - 09:18 AM In the key of D, in the chorus, F#m and Bm works for me. |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Mrs. McGrath From: alison Date: 23 Dec 99 - 07:16 AM slightly different Em in the chorus instead of the G's on the 2nd and 4th lines..... slainte alison |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Mrs. McGrath From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 23 Dec 99 - 03:44 AM Ya beat me here, Joe: but I got 'em linked to the verse and chorus, I play it in D, and I use IV instead of VIminor in the chorus. Mrs. McGrath D A If this comes out right, this is the way I play it. --seed |
Subject: Chords Add: MRS. MCGRATH From: Joe Offer Date: 23 Dec 99 - 03:38 AM Well, the lyrics are here (click) so I won't post 'em. For chords, try this: G - - D / G - - D / G C G D / G D G D // //: GEm G - / Em D G - :// These chords are what I found in the Rise Up Singing songbook. -Joe Offer- |
Subject: Mrs. McGrath From: tradsteve Date: 23 Dec 99 - 03:11 AM Does anybody have a chord arrangement worked out for "Mrs. McGrath"? I'd be most appreciative. |
