More chords by Ralph Mctell
Genre: folk, rock, country
This is from the album Easy and without tab software I am restricted to
simply
posting the chords, so you will need to listen closely to get the picking
right.
The main thing is use a clear waltz rhythmn in the bass,picking strings 6/4/4
each
bar for the first two lines. The bass moves betwen 5/3/3 and 5/4/4 as the
chords
change.
I have tabbed it in G but I think (from memory as I have long since lost the
album) that Ralph uses a capo on the 1st fret.
G#9 F#aug
All off to Brighton in a charabanc
G#9 F#aug
Albert played his banjo and how we sang.
C C(2) G
The beer was expensive but the laughter was free
A D (D run)
Oh how we do love to all be beside the sea.
G#9 F#aug
Albert had a cousin named Marjorie
G#9 F#aug
And I had been noticing that she had noticed me.
C Eb7 G (Gmaj7) E
I quickly decided if she didn't mind
A D G (G run)
I would spend the day in her gay company.
We shared a plate of whelks strolling side by side.
I said she weren't too old to take a donkey ride
But I didn't mind when she laughed and said no
So we paused for a while and listened to the minstrel show.
There was a notice at the Palace Pier
It said there was to be a dance that night and it wasn't dear.
I explained of course that I could only waltz
And so we waltzed to every tune they played.
