Chord progression to "Pat Reilly" by Planxty
Tomas Embréus
Hello
I惴 trying to figure out how the chords are set to the song "Pat Reilly",
recorded on the Planxtys愀 CD The well below the valley.
It starts on F. I think a capo on fifth fret sounds nice. (play a C-shape
chord for F)
I think the chords switches C-F-C twice, then F-C-G-F(or Am) then F to G
the first verse, G-F-Am the second round.
But I惴 not satisfied with that, so I try this posting and hoping for some
good sugestions.
Regards/Tomas

I pulled out Andy Irvine's song book "Aiming for the Heart" and here's
the first verse with the chords he gives.
F Gm11f F
It being on a Monday morning, it being our pay day,
Bb Am Dm Gm C
we met with Sergeant Jenkins at our going away.
F Gm11f F
He says to Pat Reilly, "You are a handsome young man.
Bb Am Dm Gm Bb
Will you come to John Kelly's where we will get a dram?"
Hope that helps.

An Andy Irvine song book? Do tell! Publisher and availability (in
the U.S.), if known. Thanx!

It's called _Aiming for the Heart:Poetische Lieder aus Irland_ and it
was published in Germany by Song Bucherei, which is apparently part of
Heupferd Musik of Darmstadt (which I realize is barely helpful as I know
nothing of this firm.) It came out in 1988 and its ISBN is
3-923445-01-6. It has an intro by Paul Brady, illos by Eamonn
O'Doherty, a discography, and the music and lyrics to 33 songs from
Andy's solo albums, from Sweeney's Men, and from Planxty. I'm afraid
it's probably out of print. I got my copy from Andy at the 1988 North
Texas Irish Festival and I have no idea if it was ever reprinted in the
U.S. or Britain or Ireland.

...and we've been hassling Andy for a copy for a few years now. He
finally sent us one for Christmas. Unfortunately, I don't think he has
many left, but it is worth asking him at his concerts.
