Notes
- This is a very easy song to play - excellent for all musicians. More advanced guitarists can play a little more around the D and A notes as there is great scope for this due to the time spent on each chord.
- There is an anacrusis at the start of the song which represents a number of notes leading into the song.
- The notes of the anacrusis (A-B-D-E-F#) are just before the intro with the F# falling on the first beat of the bar on the D chord. You will notice the harp player repeating these notes throughout the Intro and first verse.
- If you change the song key, the notes of the anacrusis will change as well.
- I have only used some bars throughout the song where I feel they are needed.
- Gerry Fleming is a songwriter from Clonsilla, Dublin, Ireland. He won RTE's ''The Hit' (a popular music competition show on RTÉ) for his song performed by Finbar Fury.
