29 Dec 04 - 08:57 AM (#1366689) Subject: Lyr Req: Cousin Jack - Show of Hands From: muppitz I have recently purchased the double CD album of live performances at Sidmouth Folk Festival, damn good purchase I must say, and my Mum's other half has asked me if I can have a go at getting the Words and Guitar chords to Cousin Jack by Show of Hands. I have tried a search in the DigiTrad but I have been unsuccessful, if anyone can tell me where they are of if you could supply me with said words/chords then I would be extremely grateful. Cheers in advance muppitz x |

The soil was too poor to make Eden Granite and sea left no choice Though visions of heaven sustained us When John Wesley gave us a voice. Did Joseph once come to St. Michael's mount Two thousand years pass in a dream When you're working your way in the darkness Deep in the heart of the seam (Chords same as begining of verse) I dream of a bridge on the Tamar It open us up to the east And the English live in our houses The Spanish fish in these seas |

12 Oct 13 - 06:12 PM (#3566414) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cousin Jack (Show of Hands) From: GUEST Its easy, learn by ear, until its sore. Dont get bogged down with replecation !for the intro. The basic chord sequence will suffice But get the tune and lyrics sorted and learn it thoroughly or Trelawney's boys 'll be bearing down. They are everywhere |

It's in 3/4 but that's about all i've got except the last 3rd and 4th bars. Then again I'm not entirely sure that Mr K plays this exactly the same very time anyway..... |
