23 Sep 05 - 09:02 AM (#1569131) Subject: Chord Req: Going to the West From: GUEST,Roger I have had a bit of a web search, and while I can find the lyrics in digitrad and elsewhere, I can't find the chords. Can anyone help. My search has not been helped by some bloke called Moby with a similarly titled song, that most searches lead to. Any info on the song as well would be much appreciated, (I've ready the existing threads). Thanks for any help R |

23 Sep 05 - 11:01 AM (#1569198) Subject: RE: Chord Req: Going to the West From: GUEST,Roger Many thanks for your help. Not sure what pm-ing Fortunato means, but will look into joining as am big Mudcat fan, it always restores my faith in humanity. Janie and Peace, thanks again. Roger |

They in turn can message you back. Kinda like e-mail. If you then have a message waiting it will show at the top of the screen when you are logged on to the 'cat. You can click that and --hey, join and you'll get the hang of it really quickly. Hope you do. |

23 Sep 05 - 08:15 PM (#1569581) Subject: RE: Chord Req: Going to the West From: Midchuck I don't understand the problem. The chords are just there. Can't you hear them? It's not like the song had any argumentative 13ths or something in it. It's a 3-chorder. P. |

26 Sep 05 - 09:39 AM (#1570838) Subject: RE: Chord Req: Going to the West From: Reagle Still looking for those chords. Midchuck I thought I'd posted reply to you that I cannot recognise chords whatsoever, (its an affliction). Anyone out there to translate the stuff that Bruce O had posted previously? THanks, as ever, to all R |
26 Sep 05 - 03:07 PM (#1571007) Subject: RE: Chord Req: Going to the West From: Fortunato I will do one chorus here with the chords, the chords for the verses are the same. The arrangement is Jody Stechlers. D You say you will not go with me A D And turn your eyes away A G You say that we can 'ner agree D Although I say A D I'm going to the west Cheers, Chance |

26 Sep 08 - 09:19 AM (#2450787) Subject: RE: Chord Req: Going to the West From: GUEST,ChopperGeoff Hi Roger. As a bluegrasser, I tend to play in key of G. just a simple 3 chorder as stated by fortunato. but I use G D C. Try listening to Laurie Lewis and her bluegrass pals, the album. Cheers Geoff |
26 Sep 08 - 09:44 AM (#2450799) Subject: RE: Chord Req: Going to the West From: Abdul The Bul Bul It'd great in open G too. I got it from a Canadian couple on Frank Hennesseys prog a few years ago. Steve Tilson has just recorded it on his last album too. Al |
