Erik,

Some time ago I tried to do an informal "Tull music list" and it all

started with Dun Ringill. A bunch of us, Mark Bertenshaw, Brian

Michalowski, and I (forgive me if I missed anyone) traded e-mail and

came up with the following version. There was much exchange and a "tab"

was never arrived at. However, I believe that the following is pretty

well along the way to playing it so it sounds good. Be aware, however,

that there is more than one guitar playing this. One is capo'ed at fret

3 the other is not capo'ed. This is apparent if you listen closely to

the bass line. Feel free to e-mail me if you have questions. BTW, does

anyone out there know Baker Street Muse, any part of it? I haven't had

the time/patience to sit down and figure it out. Enjoy.

Dun Ringill

Clear light on a slick palm

as I misdeal the day

Slip the night from a shaved pack

make a marked card play

Call twilight hours down

from a heaven home

high above the highest bidder

for the good Lord's throne.

In the wee hours I'll meet you

down by Dun Ringill -

watch the old gods play

by Dun Ringill

We'll wait in stone circles

'til the force comes through -

lines join in faint discord

and the Stormwatch brews

a concert of Kings

as the white sea snaps

at the heels of a soft prayer

whispered

In the wee hours I'll meet you

down by Dun Ringill -

take you quickly

by Dun Ringill.

Capo on third Fret.

All the picked notes are triplets, in the space of one measure of the 4/4

time signature. In the main repeating sequence, the pair of strummed chords are played

as a triplet with the first two notes tied (effectively "swung"

quavers).

Main repeating sequence:

Play A minor chord. Use your little finger to finger these notes in turn:

5th string, open

6th string, 3rd fret

6th string, 2nd fret

In the first 3 triplets, pick the sequence of strings: (5/6), 3, 2

After the third triplet, strum the A minor chord, removing the first finger

from the 2nd string on the second strum.

Then finger D Major, and pick strings: 5, 3, 2 (as above)

Then strum the D Major chord, this time removing the finger off the 1st

string the second time.
