Hi Everyone,
It's me again.
I'm still searching the web for the 'Burning of Auchindoun' chords. I've already found notes. But nothing more...
Can you help me?
Please, I'll be grateful (:

At the risk of being thought a smart-ass, I say you have all the chords you need: Sing it unaccompanied, as it was intended.

It is so powerful in itself, and free in form, I can't see tying it down to an instrumental accompaniment.

I only know this unaccompanied, but I just tried these chords played as apperegios (is that how its spelt?) and not at all rythmnically binding - and it doesnt sound bad at all.....

(Am)As I gaed in by (G)Fiddich (Am)Side
On a (G)May mor(Em)ning
I (Am)met wi´ Willie (G)MacIn(Am)tosh
An (C)hour be(G)fore the (Am) dawning
Turn a(G)gain,
(D)turn a(Am)gain,
Oh,(Am) turn again I (G) beg ye,
(Am) Gin ye burn (G) Auchin(Am)doon,
(C)Huntly, (G)he maun (Am)heed ye.

The D is a bit daring but I think it makes it sound more dramatic.....
Hope this helps,
John

GUEST, john c:

I tried your chords just now. It appears that you and I know slightly different versions of the tune, in that for my tune the Am in the first line just won't work. An Em does, though. Or perhaps just removing the Am and letting the G ring. But I like the Em better.

I rather like your D.
