Thin Lizzy - Emerald guitar chord

#

From: peacock@che.und.ac.za (Mr Stephen Peacock - PG)

Subject: CRD : Thin Lizzy - "Emerald"

The chord pattern is as follows (for the verse) :

B A# G# F# B B A# G# B F#

B A# G# F# B B A# G# B D# .... (repeat as needed)

Lyrics :

B A# G# F# B

Down from the glen came the marching men

B A# G# B F#

with their shields and their swords

B A# G# F# B

to fight the fight they believed to be right

B A# G# B D# D# D# (etc.)

to overthrow their overlords.

To the town where there was plenty

they brought plunder, swords and flame

when they left the town was empty

children would never play again.

(can't remember 3'rd verse)

The bridges in the song are based on simple scale patterns, and aren't too

hard to work out. The solo is also fairly easy-ish, but requires a lot of

work to tab and learn (so is not included here - I'm lazy)
