Subject: RE: Tune Req: The iron man From: GUEST,Mike Dowding...again!! Date: 07 May 02 - 07:42 PM I have heard it played as a "very catchy" Strathespey rhythm in key A...but I prefer to have the music and play the melody as written.....and not bodge it up as so many people do...Thanks again......I'm told 'tis a Scots tune |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The iron man From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 07 May 02 - 07:46 PM The strathspey was composed by J. Scott Skinner for William M.F. McHardy, Laird of Drumblair. You'll be able to get the music as staff, abc or midi at JC's Tunefinder; the server is down just at present, but will no doubt be back. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The iron man From: Jim Dixon Date: 09 May 02 - 02:33 PM Don Miexner: Which web page did you have in mind? Here's Tom Paxton's agent: http://www.flemtam.com/tp.html Here's his page at Appleseed Recordings: http://www.appleseedrec.com/tompaxton/ Here's his page at Elektra/Rhino Records: http://www.rhino.com/features/bio/73515bio.html Here's his page at Blue Plate Music: http://www.blueplatemusic.com/paxtontour.html Here's his page at Rounder Records: http://www.rounder.com/ByArtist.asp?musical_group_id=1349 None of those web sites have lyrics that I can find. Some have sound samples, but not of the song in question. "Iron Man" (length=15:02) was on his album "Things I Notice Now" Elektra LP EKS-74043, 1969. It is apparently out of print and has not been reissued as a CD. "Iron Man" is NOT on the collection "I Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound: The Elektra Years" which is where you'd expect to find it if anybody was going to reissue it. There are numerous fan web sites and record store web pages about him, but I don't have the patience to search them all. A few lines from the song (not just the title) might help. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The iron man From: GUEST,MCP Date: 09 May 02 - 07:02 PM If no one posts in the next few days I'll put the words up for you. (I thought I had it already written out in one of my old folders, but not according to my index). While I can still remember whole sections of the 15 minutes (The Things I Notice Now was always my favourite of the early Paxton LPs and the Anji section my favourite from the song), I will need to listen to it. If you want the various tunes for each section let me know - that'll take me a while to take down. Mick |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The iron man From: DonMeixner Date: 09 May 02 - 11:19 PM Hi Jim, Didn't have a particular site in mind when I posted that two years ago. I was just guessing where it might be found. Don |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The iron man From: Sorcha Date: 09 May 02 - 11:21 PM Holy cow..............very good, MCP! |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The iron man From: raredance Date: 10 May 02 - 11:03 PM GReat Mick and thanks. I dug out the LP but the lyric insert has been separted from it. Ididn't want to hunt for the lyric sheet and I really didn't want to transcribe it. Whichever way you got it, bravo. rich r |
Subject: Chords Add: THE IRON MAN (Tom Paxton) From: Jason Xion Wang Date: 26 Mar 15 - 07:07 AM I've been looking for the chords to this epic song for a while, but no luck, so I decided to figure it myself. Finally done - not sure it's 100% correct, but almost there, I guess. I've put the entire chords and lyrics on a page on my website. I'll use MCP's tune identifiers here. THE IRON MAN (Tom Paxton)
I think part "D" is the only part in 3/4 time. The rest of the song are all in 4/4. Not my favorite Tom Paxton song, but it's indeed interesting. The "Angie" part is fabulous. Jason |
