Subject: Chord Req: The Bergen From: DonMeixner Date: 10 Jun 04 - 09:11 PM This a Jez Lowe song. Is anyone playing this in straight chords rather than in DADGAD? In advance, thank you all. Don |
Subject: RE: Chord Req: The Bergen From: GUEST,Seaking Date: 10 Jun 04 - 10:02 PM Don, I learned this in DADGAD but also worked it out in standard - which obviously changes the feel slightly. Are you after all the chords or just one ? |
Subject: RE: Chord Req: The Bergen From: GUEST,Seaking Date: 10 Jun 04 - 10:27 PM ...finger trouble on the 'submit message' button. Was going to ask if you had a preferred key or used a capo ? I'll post all chords later today but need to dig the lyrics out first... |
Subject: RE: Chord Req: The Bergen From: DonMeixner Date: 10 Jun 04 - 10:49 PM Hi Sea King here it is from the Data base. I need the whole shooting match. Ant key is fine and I'll transpose it. Thanks. Don THE BERGEN (Jez Lowe) Sleep, why'd you wake me with these dreams you bring Dreams came to me where I lay, And deep the melody the wild waves sing, And my love is far, far away. Chorus: Oh, pity the hearts the wild waves part, My love sails the bonny barque, The Bergen. They heap their nets upon the decks by light Dreams came to me, etc And creep out gently at the dead of night And my love is far, etc. They reap the harvest of the cold, night sea It leaps with herring 'neath his decks for me. Steep waves rise above his cold, dark head, Oh, keep him safe to lie here in my bed. It weeps with rain tonight where my love lies It sweeps the foreign sands from out his eyes. |

Subject: RE: Chord Req: The Bergen From: DonMeixner Date: 11 Jun 04 - 07:28 AM You know I am always irritated when I ask for help with what is really a simple set of chords. I should know this stuff. I can hear the melody just fine but the chords always escape me. Maybe I should wait until daylight when I'm not so tired before I try and decant a song. Thank you all very much. Don |
Subject: RE: Chord Req: The Bergen From: Strollin' Johnny Date: 11 Jun 04 - 07:38 AM Having seen Jez doing this song on a number of occasions, and being an inveterate left-hand-watcher (or in Jez's case, right-hand) I'm pretty sure he does it, as do I, in Open 'D', not DADGAD. No doubt someone (maybe even Jez himself?)will tell me I'm talking tripe! :0) I used to do it in 'D' in standard tuning, but it doesn't give the right dissonances, doesn't 'ring' properly. Open 'D' is so much nicer. Johnny :0) |
