Chords with lyrics
Hi! So I've been learning Gàidhlig and I wanted to learn this song for vowel practice, but there weren't any
tabs of it. So I'm fixing that! This is the song that Queen Eleanor sings to young Merida in the flashback.
Lyrics were found on the Brave Wiki.
Tips for pronunciation: Bh/Mh is pronounced more like a "Vh" sound (bhan= vahn, mhaighdean = vhaeghdan, ect.)
, "Dh" is practically silent. "Gh" is a hard,
almost phlegm-y "Gchh" sound. Good luck!
EDIT: I switched out the chord G6G6 for Gma7 because that's how I prefer to play it, but either works.
