Misc Irish - Bantry Girls Lament (Second Version)
 Misc Irish - Bantry Girls Lament Second Version: chords and tabs for the song. Watch chords and tablatures for all songs of the singer (group) Misc Irish. Other chords and tabs for the "Bantry Girls Lament" can find at the bottom of the page. This is a lovely Irish tune, very closely akin to the tune of "On Raglan
Road" as sung by Van Morrison with the Chieftains on "Irish Heartbeat" -
actually a modern poem by P. J. Kavanagh set to a traditional air whose
title I've forgotten ("The Dawning of the Day", perhaps?).
The first half of this is pretty well note-for-note identical to Martin
Simpson's arrangement on "Leaves of Life", and as per the TAB that comes
with the album. However, he plays it on a baritone guitar - this sounds
achingly beautiful and sonorous, but given the higher pitch of the
standard guitar, I thought it could use a bit more of the lower register,
so I put together a simple arrangement one octave below. This alternates
nicely with the higher part, and gives some pleasing tonal contrast,
especially if the right-hand attack alternates between 'over the sound
hole' and 'down by the bridge'.
Any comments would be welcome.
Regards,
Barry
