25 Feb 05 - 02:40 AM (#1420347) Subject: Chord Req: Steeleye Span: 'Edwin' From: Muttley Hello folks: After 'Ruffling up the feathers in the Cuckoo's Nest' re Reynardine, I am now seeking the chords to one of my favourite Steeleye Span songs: "EDWIN". The song is also known by the title "Young Edwin of the Lowlands Low" - a bit cumbersome, wot? I would prefer the 'Span' chording as their style suits my ABI-affected playing style. If anyone should also possess the chords to "Little Sir Hugh" and/or Long Lankin (also the Steeleye Span versions) I would be terribly gtateful. Thanks |
