I recently went to his web site and wound up buying a cd. Unlike many comerce sites, Amos has you print out an order form, fill it out, and send it in with your check (or cheque, as the case may be). The kcker is that he sends the cd with a personal snapshot of himself doing this or that as well as a hand tied fishing fly that he personally made. By the way, his solo in Maria's version of that song is my all time favorite guitar solo. dw |

17 Sep 03 - 01:54 PM (#1020876) Subject: RE: Chord Req: midnight at the oasis From: M.Ted The chords to the verse, on the Maria Muldaur recording, at least, are a half step lower than the ones at the link, but the bridge chords are the the same. It gives it a nice sounding half step key change and effectively shakes off all the people who are trying to play along by ear, even if they made it through the Gb section:-) Verse Eb / Ab Db9 / Eb / Ab Db9 / Eb / Ab Db9 / Gb Cb9 / F6 Bb11 / and repeat Chorus Chorus: F G9 / C11 D11 / F G9 / C11 D11 F G9 / C11 D11 / A11 B11 / back to verse |

17 Sep 03 - 02:37 PM (#1020908) Subject: RE: Chord Req: midnight at the oasis From: Mark Clark M.Ted, What do you play for a transition to the chorus? Do you just play a Bb11 followed by an F? And what about the fade at the end? Do you play a B11 or a Bb11? At the bottom of the page Moo linked, we see: showing the verse in E major and the chorus starting on an F chord but winding up on a B11, just like the verse. Now I'll have to go back and listen to the recording. It's been a while since I listened to it and I'll look forward to the pleasure.How Mr. Nichtern gave us it (i.e. the definitive chords) - Mark |

17 Sep 03 - 04:52 PM (#1021014) Subject: RE: Chord Req: midnight at the oasis From: M.Ted Sorry--I must me in my "Mr. Dumbness" mode-- The chords I posted for the chorus are not right, I should have moved them down a half step, as well(the chords are the same, relatively, to the Official David Nichturn chords, but just down a half step): E F#9/B11 C#11/E F#9/B 11 C# 11 /E F#9/B 11 C#11/Ab11 Bb11/ back to verse I know that one generally avoids using both sharps and flats in the same tune, but the song changes key at the end there-- |
