Chords to WON'T YOU COME AND SING FOR ME

[staggarlee]

Does anybody know what chords Hot Rize is playing WON'T YOU COME AND SING FOR ME by Hazel Dickens on the So Long of a Journey disc? I hear F and C. I know Hazel Dickens recorded it in E, A, & D.

[David M.]

I play that one. I think it's just the Key of F, I(F), IV(Bb), V( C) progression.

From memory, so forgive me if it's wrong (I may have the IV and the V wrong, but again, no instrument in hand at the moment...) #




I (Bb)feel the shadows (F)now upon me
(Bb)And the angels (F)beckon to me(C?)
Be(Bb)fore I go dear (F)sisters and brothers
(Bb)Won't you come and ©sing for me

I do that one alot on the flattop and use a capo, so that's messing up my memory even more. #Try this and let me know if right. #Tonight I'll try to go through it w/mando.

Thanks much! I'll try that on mando when I get home myself. Now, if I could only sing like Tim O! Those harmanies are perfect on that recording.

[David M.]

Now, if I could only sing like Tim O!

Yep, I'm with you. Change the key if you need to to get it right for your singing. D or E or G if you need to go higher. that IS a great song, isn't it? appropriate for many different settings.

One of my favorite tunes. I haven't played it in awhile but I do it in F as well.
