Hi all... sorry to trouble you but I wondered if any one had the chords for the Martin Carthy or June Tabor arrangement of this great song... I did a quick google/mudcat search and couldn't find anything!

Thanks,
SB

Well, we have the ABC melody and a MIDI file in the DT. Can you work them out from that?

Am             D               Am
Come all you Lachlan men and a sorrowful tale I'll tell,
    Am        C                           DE
The story of a hero bold who through misfortune fell,
      Am                                    D                            E
His name it was Ben Hall, a man of high renown,
               Am            C                   D                F            E                            Am
Who was hunted from his station, and was like a dog shot down.

I found these in an old Tradional Folk song book I bought yonks ago. It is meant to be played in Key of (Bm - D) so I capo 2 Fret and play in Am. You can also pick/strum the melody using these chords to get a folk/bluegrass feel. The chords are a bit out (especially first post) as the website program moved them about a little when I posted. from Dez www.gateway23.com.au
