Yep! Me Again: Same beat - different song!

Looking for the chords to Steeleye Span's "Long In The Growing"

Starts:
"As I was a-walking along Verger's Wall
I saw four-and-twenty young men playing at the ball
I asked for my own true love, but they wouldn't let him come;
For they said their boy was young, but a-growing"

ETC.

My problem is with this short-term memory disability; old snippets from a previous life pop in and I think "Yeah! I can probably do / adapt that" and then I get frustrated 'cause I can't find the damn chords to go with the lyrics I know and I can no longer attach the correct ones by listening to the records, either! It's a bugger.

Anyway, as per usual, my thanks in advance

John

Nice version by Altan on their "Blue Idol" CD called "Daily Growing".
Also known as "The Trees they do grow high".

Cheers,
Michael

Thank-you all: Unfortunately - due to 'brain damage' fingers don't move fast enough to hit an 'F' with any degree of accuracy (it's one of the 'common' chords that still eludes me!) so I'll transpose it up one!
Only bugger doing it that way is that the Am (which sounds great) becomes a 'simplified' Bm and sounds less so - but I can put up with that if I can play the song!

Cheers all; and again - Thanks

Just checked "Hot Off The Scanner" - what a bloody ripper of a site!

Pity some of the songas are without chords - but hell they can wait!
