23 Nov 06 - 01:01 PM (#1891871) Subject: Chord Req: Sally Free and Easy From: Gulliver I've heard so many versions of this song by Cyril Tawney that I've almost forgotten the original melody. Does anyone have some interesting (preferably jazzy-type) chords for the song? I used to do it in open D but can't get the effect I'm looking for in standard tuning. adTHANKSvance, Don |

23 Nov 06 - 02:40 PM (#1891943) Subject: RE: Chord Req: Sally Free and Easy From: Hamish I noodle about in DADGAD on this, with various key changes, thus: 054000 032000 020000 and 5x5400 3x3200 x32000 and 7x7600 5x5400 x54000 etc... One of these ones that seems to have a lot of potential but I've never got it to gig standard. You're welcome to try... -- Hamish |

23 Nov 06 - 02:48 PM (#1891949) Subject: RE: Chord Req: Sally Free and Easy From: Gulliver I first heard this song from a group called Supply Demand and Curve in Dublin in the seventies and really liked their version (with cello, etc). Then I later heard a recording (live?) of Cyril doing it but to be quite honest didn't like his guitar accompaniment at all. I want to do it in standard tuning. Thanks, Don |

23 Nov 06 - 05:14 PM (#1892046) Subject: RE: Chord Req: Sally Free and Easy From: Richard Bridge I do basically a rock and roll version. Capo 3 - then assume that I am playing to E (instead of G) D is fretted 500775 save where specified. E perf is 079900. The E7 is played as an E perfect with the D played on the A string (it's a bit of a stretch). (Eperf)Sally (D)free and(Eperf)eas(Eperf, 7, then perf)y, that should (D)be her (Eperf) name (E perfect, 7, then perf) (next line the same chords) Took a (ThumbyG) sailor's (Droot, followed by usual twiddle through the augmented) loving, for a nu(ThumbyG)rs(D root)ery (E perfect)game |

There is another excellent version of the song on YouTube by the Jolly Rogers. The bloke in the middle looks a bit like Phil Beer. |

Please contact me off-list if still interested. I wouldn't hold your breath, though - it's only a few bars that follow on from some other studio piano blues ramble, cut while the mic was still on.
