Celtic Connections

Ok, so this is a bit different to what i normally do. but a friend of Mrs Flowers (my better half) made a special request. So this is about a beautiful Celtic song called Siuil a run, originally by Clannad. i would have played on my acoustic guitar, but it is up in Orkland at the moment.

So anyway, the chords are as follows:

Intro verse:
Em7, D, Em, C7, Em Bm7, C6, D, Am7, Bm7, Fadd9, G6, and A.

The verse then goes

Em7, D, Em, c7,Em, Bm7, Am, D, Am7, Bm7 C, C, (C, D, C, Emin7 - this is at the end of the first verse after the main part of the verse. not in other verses although there is a similar bit on the end of 2 chorus' almost like a bridge)

The chorus is almost identical to the verse as follows:

Em7, D, Em, c7,Em, Bm7, Am, D, Am7, Bm7 C, C, C, D, E (Although at one point the song plays the chorus twice in succession and the final C, D, E are only played on the second iteration, it just goes straight back to E minor in the first iteration.

The fade out is as follows,

Am, C, D, F, G - Repeat to Fade.

Here is a video of me describing it, then jamming along with the track. I hope this helps you with your audition! And i hope it helps anyone else who might be interested in learning this stunningly pretty song.

Normal service will be resumed for the next blog. I have started working on a shredfest guitar instrumental - so watch this space - I havent done one of these for a while so I'm looking forward to it!

Regards,

Dave B
