Tom Tiddlers Ground chords by Roy Harper

Chords with lyrics

[Transcription by Gordon Walker ]

Another I'm not sure I've posted before (cos I hadn't quite finished
it ?).

This transcription is *not* exactly as Roy plays it - but works for me!
He uses a dropped top Chord diagramE MajorE as well I think on normal tuning - or is it a
full open tuning in D? He also plays the second Chord diagramD MajorD (my D*) _up_ the neck
for the socond chord, but in my tuning it never seems to sound right
trying to do that to me (plus it's easier to hit the Chord diagramC/DC/D afterwards
doing it my way!).

(oops - I forgot Chord diagramG+G - but I'm sure you can survive without my little
pictures for that one (don't forget the bottom Chord diagramE MajorE dropped to D!).

Note for the end of the chorus and every other verse line:

The walk down at the end should be played stressing the bass notes on
the Chord diagramA augmentedA string (ie pluck them on the beat), and then there is a little
pull off using the first finger to play the open Chord diagramA augmentedA (either from the Chord diagramBB
(in the verses) or the Chord diagramBb majorBb (in the chorus)) followed by plucking the
bottom Chord diagramD MajorD normally and then strum. Best to listen to the record to see
what I mean (if I'm making sense of course)!
