Hi
I'm looking for the chords to the Midwinters Waltz as recorded by Boys of the Lough. I play it on fiddle and want to give a guitarist friend the chords (not that many will equal the briliance of Chris Newman).

Cheers

Try here

www.alltabs.com/all_tabs.php - 82k

or Google

Boys of the Lough, chords, songs, midwinters waltz

It will take you to two sites that show tabs. I can't bring either site up. However, if you can and you can tell me the key and the notes, I'll be able to tell you what chords might work.

Okay, let's see if we can have a community effort here. Here's a page that has the ABC for this waltz.

http://www.nigelgatherer.com/tunes/general/gen2.html

If somebody here will concert this to a MIDI and post the MIDI, then I will figure out what the chords are and post them.

I'm curious to hear what the Midwinter Waltz is like, but I don't have the time today to work with the TexttoMIDI program.

I got this tune on MP3 but could obviously not send it by e-mail to anyone that sent me a personal message with their e-mail address!!!!!! So dont send me your address and I will not send you the MP3!

I've actually been doing some work on this from the original post. Found the ABC very quickly - which has some structural errors - but a bad back has prevented me sitting down at my PC for more than a few minutes. Should be back on the job before the end of the day.

Regards, John

Right, Herge. I don't think an MP3 is much use here. Let's wait till John in Brisbane can get us the MIDI.

What key do you play the waltz in? If you don't know, then just say what the first and last notes are that you play.

I have performed the transformation. I've never heard this piece as performed by the Boys of the Lough, but it is hard to believe that this is all of it. It has only two sections and they are very much alike. It shows only two chords (G and Am). Is that really all there is to it?
