Arrangement Details & Helpful Tips
- Beginners: 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.
- Key Signature: D Major - 2 sharps (F#, C#)
- Time Signature: 4/4 (four quarter-note beats per measure)
- Tempo: Andante - moderate, walking pace
- Metronome: q = 92
- 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 introduced some bars throughout the song where I feel they are needed.
- A beautiful song by one of Ireland's finest.💚🍀💚
