I only found this song yesterday (Yes, this weeks Brian Cox special)and had the chords off really quickly. Your video has meant I'm going to play/sing but add a chorus of fingerpicking in the middle bit - it sounds brilliant on a 12-string, capoed on 4th fret! Thanks for your help, skill, and interpretation. - Gerry
I stumbled upon your video while trying to find some tabs to this song. Funny you should mention someone singing it, as me and my girlfriend are planning on giving it a go once I can figure out how to play the darned thing. Just wanted to say thank you for putting this video up, now I just have to study it for awhile to learn how to play! :)
wow thats great! any chance of you writing out the tab? and is the tuning standard or double drop D? cause i hear kate rusby does alot of her songs in that tuning. fantastic job!
Glad you liked it. I played it in std tuning. She does some interesting open tunings. I could tab it but its more work than I feel like. Start with the C chord and pick the C bass and high C together, add some arppregios (pick through the chord), switch to G and play the G bass with a higher D. On the Am part, you are playing the notes E, F, G and hitting the C note on the F chord. Good luck, enjoy working it out - I did! Let me know if you get stuck.
Kate plays most of her stuff in double dropped D tuning DADGBD. Play a normal C chord in that tuning, then play the same chord two frets higher. Hold the bottom two strings at the 5th fret and then the bottom three strings at the 2nd fret. You should get the authentic (ish) kate rusby sound.
Wow, that's beautiful! Automatic favorite! I'm inspired to go home tonight and work on this one! (Umm, after ballet class and rehearsal... Gotta keep the arts in their proper order, and ballet is on a schedule!) Thank you for the spark!
Love it :)
