very honorable

Well done. Yours is the best version I've found on YouTube. I've loved the song for years, ever since I heard Helen Schneyer sing it on A Prairie Home Companion. I eventually found her CD that contains the song, but, unfortunately, I can't remember the title right this minute. Thank you so much for singing and posting this. I've downloaded it, I enjoyed it so much.

@dfish9471

Thank you very much.

I play it with capo on second fret but only A to e string. Not the deep E string.

So I got something like a dropped D tuning but it sounded in E key.

The chords are:

D, e7, G, A.

Hope that helps you.

Best wishes

PS: Why do you skip videos with singing people?

[OiOiSkinhead89]

Normaly is skip those videos because a lot of people think they can sing but what you hear is scary.... its like those "superstar casting shows" where a lot of people think they can sing.

[Kingjne92]

That was perfect, I love this song!

Thank you.

[garibelon]

Also for to put it to your favourites.

You are welcome. Keep up the singing and playing— some trad Irish maybe?

[garibelon]

I'Ve some trads online. :)

[PollyMorphus]

Very nice. Beautiful. However, this version is a take on "Robin Hood's Death", a traditional ballad (Child No. 120) called "Lonesome Robin" written by Bob Coltman.

Thank you very much. :)

Wow. I was surfing for a video to use with my MySpace poetry group. I just loved this. It suits the mood of what I was trying to say, exactly. I can't embed it, but it will certainly inspire my write. I will post the link.

Thank you,

eben erst gesehen :(

I really like this song- I can't find it on the internet- any chance you would share your source or ? Thanks- found your videos because I like the Dave Francey song Waking Hour.

[garibelon]

Hi thenellm

Thank you for comment.

Have a look at the song info. The addition.

[thenellm]

Hey Garibelon, thank you- I have started working on the song, though I can't come close to your guitar playing. Quite a sad song really. Thanks again.

[garibelon]

Hint ;-)

I take a Copo on second fret. But only on ADGHE stings. Not the low E string. So you have a "dropped D" tuning sounds in E. But now you can play the chords like G in standard position. And the A chord on "now" fret 7 also in standard position. But if you play A on "now" fret 4 or the e7 don't pick the lower E string.

Picking is most a 4/4 folk picking.

Hope that helps.

[thenellm]

It does- I was wondering why the G chord looked odd- the partial capo- I have seen other people use this. Thanks for the information, and I will keep working on the song.
