Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Banks of the Nile From: sophocleese Date: 25 Jul 00 - 11:45 PM Whiskey, I found the piece of paper. It doesn't have the words just the chords in order. See if they help. Intro and filler between verses. Cm F(C bass) Cm7 F(C bass). Cm F Bb Gm Gm Gm Cm F Cm F Cm Eb Eb F Gm Gm Cm F Cm Eb Eb F Gm Gm Cm F Cm Bb Cm Bb Cm F Cm7 F Hope this is of some help. Sorry its late so I didn't transpose it to Am, I figure you could probably do that. I'll start learning it tomorrow.

Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Banks of the Nile From: sophocleese Date: 20 Jul 00 - 11:43 AM Whiskey, I have just frantically searched through three stacks of music looking fo rthe chords for that and haven't found it. I will try and figure out what other kind of pile it got lost in. My husband wrote the chords out for me but I haven't learned it yet. Lovely song. |
