¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
song is in standard tuning, the way i hear it christy uses chordvariations while
fingerpicking the song.
anyway, an easy overview over the chords used:
G C F Am
E 3 x x x
A x 3 x 0
D 0 2 3 2
G 0 0 2 2
B 3 1 1 1
e 3 3 3 0
Christy uses some variations on the high e-string and on the rute notes to make
the song softer. i didnt figure them out, but i'm sure you can by just trying. ah
and the song's in 3/4!
[Verse 1]
G C F G
You may travel far far from your own native home
C G Am
Far away o'er the mountains far away o'er the foam
C G Am
But of all the fine places that I've ever seen,
C F G
There's none to compare with The Cliffs of Dooneen
[Verse 2]
G C F G
Take a view o'er the water fine sights you'll see there
C G Am
You'll see the high rocky slopes on the West coast of Clare
C G Am
The towns of Kilkee and Kilrush can be seen
C F G
From the high rocky slopes at The Cliffs of Dooneen
[Verse 3]
G C F G
It's a nice place to be on a fine Summer's day
C G Am
Watching all the wild flowers that ne'er do decay
C G Am
The hare and lofty pheasant are plain to be seen
C F G
Making homes for their young round The Cliffs of Dooneen
[Verse 4]
G C F G
Fare thee well to Dooneen fare thee well for a while
C G Am
And to all the fine people I'm leaving behind
C G Am
To the streams and the meadows where late I have been
C F G
And the high rocky slopes of The Cliffs of Dooneen
fingerpicking the song.
