Thanyou for your help. I need a printable copy of the music for "Murphy and the bricks" aka Paddy's sick note.

Also the words and chords for "The man in green" by Show of hands.

Anyone can help? Thanks.

The tune for The Sick Note is a slowed-down version of "The Garden Where The Praties Grow", which is in the DT.

If you go to the Yet Another Digital Tradition site you should be able to get the musical notation as a .GIF file which you can print out.

Wassail! V

Here's the link to the song. It gives the words for the Sicknote song, and the Praties tune and words.

You can also download it as a Postscript file if you want better quality printing.

Have you seen the excellent 'Show of Hands' website, Eric? I remember there being lots of Real Audio to download, and I thought there were lyrics too? I've not got the address on my new computer.

Good luck.

THE MAN IN GREEN
Written by Steve Knightley
As sung by Show of Hands on "Lie of the Land" (1996)

1. Storm clouds in the distance, sky speaks of rain
The wind comes from the west and autumn's here again
As the darkness gathers, let's light the season's flame

CHORUS: With fire and water, land and sea,
The man in green and his company
Will take the land and shake the throne,
Make his stand and claim his own.

2. The countryside is restless, the harvest almost home.
Someone stirs the woodland and walks the paths alone.
Marching men approaching and hunting horns are blown. CHORUS

3. Days we will remember, a time we won't forget.
Hours of celebration long after sun has set.
Voices joined together; we'll raise the country yet. CHORUS
