13 Aug 07 - 08:04 PM (#2124851) Subject: Lyr Req: 'Friends of Mine' & 'Play One More' From: SouthernCelt Just checked the Digitrad for these two songs that Ian Tyson sang back in the folk days and found no lyrics listed. Anyone have transcriptions of either or both songs that you could post here? Many thanks in advance. SC |

14 Aug 07 - 02:20 PM (#2125373) Subject: Lyr Add: PLAY ONE MORE (Ian Tyson) From: Cluin Been playing and singing this one since I was a kid and didn't know what the hell it was about. My Dad taught it to me. Great song, that's all. Play One More Ian Tyson c.1966 Play one more And then I'm leavin', boys Pick one more Let those guitars ring I can't tarry Here too long, for I do believe She been high-strung Like a swallow on the wing She may be go-one Well, this smoky laughin' room does seem to ease my mind Not to mention a few too many that I've had But I'll pack my guitar up, for I do believe she been high-strung and lately feelin' bad She may be go-one Well we ain't been gettin' along for bout a month or more Yes, I might be better off if she'd just go But to get home with the dawn and find an empty room Could I stand the pain? I really don't think so So play one more And then I'm leavin', boys Yes, pick one more Let those guitars ring I can't tarry Here too long, for I do believe She been high-strung Like a swallow on the wing She may be go-one Go-one Ooooo Ooooo. |

14 Aug 07 - 02:34 PM (#2125381) Subject: Lyr Add: FRIENDS OF MINE (Ian Tyson) From: Cluin My Dad used to sing this one all the time too. Another great song. I must've heard it about a thousand times. Off the top of my head... (Rick Turner played the guitar break) Friends of Mine Ian Tyson c. 1966 These friends of mine, we shared some good times together Days of sunshine, days of rain Many jobs and many towns we worked and never Cared if we saw the same towns again Then one day, we weren't as young as before Our mistakes weren't quite so easy to undo But by all those roads, my friend, we travel down I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you These friends of mine, they never cared about tomorrow It was too early in the game They'd stay a while until the day they'd get to wonderin' If the far side of the hill looked the same And they settle down somewhere along the way And some went on, as some men do But by all those roads, my friend, we travel down I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you (Ah, Rick...) And they settle down somewhere along the way Yes, and some went on, as some men do But by all those roads, my friend, we travel down I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you And by all those roads, my friend, we traveled down I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you |

It says the great guitar solo on Friends is by Rick Turner. Don't know him, but it is good to hear the songs without the scratches on my old lp's. Whoever did the Vanguard recordings did a smart job of putting the voices on separate sides, so that I can reset the levels to hear the great harmonies they did. The newer cd's don't seem to take the same care with recording harmonies. Chris in Portland |

14 Aug 07 - 04:56 PM (#2125480) Subject: RE: Req/ADD: Friends of Mine & Play One More (Tyson) From: Cluin Ian & Sylvia always used to mix those early stereo recordings that way. My mom used to sit beside whichever speaker Sylvia was coming out of to learn her harmony parts exactly so she could sing them that way with my Dad. |

14 Aug 07 - 05:00 PM (#2125485) Subject: RE: Req/ADD: Friends of Mine & Play One More (Tyson) From: Cluin And that kind of radical mixing was pretty common back then. Even the Beatles recordings used to have vocals or instruments swept either completely left or right. Some songs have no vocals at all in one side and all of them on the other. Mon mixes were the standard for AM radio play singles and the stereo mixes an afterthought for LP release later. |

I recall one of Ian & Sylvia's early albums not listing 'lead & rhythm guitar' in the credits, but rather 'left & right guitar'. Chuckled then; chuckle now. |

He was a member of the Alembic group building guitars and basses for the Greatful Dead, CSN&y, etc. He built Lindset Buckingham's signature revoving pickup guitar. |

The timing of some chords works out differently in my memory and on my guitar when I sing it as Ianand Sylvai do it in my memory and on utube, but this key and chord progression sound like the original. |
