Meet On The Ledge Tab By Fairport Convention

From: mmc@ehabitat.demon.co.uk (Martin McCarthy)

Greig Chisholm inquires:
> Does anybody have the tab for Meet on the Ledge by Fairport Convention and
>could they post it or e-mail it. Thanks in advance.

Goodness me, it's a while since I played that one. No tab, but here's the
words and chords as best as I can remember them. (Any corrections most
gratefully accepted).

Meet On The Ledge - Fairport Convention

Meet on...etc.


NB: the F#m and Em marked with a '*' - I'm almost sure that I used to
play a Bm for these two chords, but the F#m and Em sound better just
now. (I have a guitar with me, but not the record). You might like to
stick Bm in there if it sounds better for you.

If you are playing the song in A, the marked chords should indeed be Bm.

Actually, though, on the album, the song is played in B-flat.
(Someone's playing a piano on the track, so it's really not too
surprising.)

Here are the chords of the song, in Bb:

MEET ON THE LEDGE - Fairport Convention

(Short bridge in F major, with guitar figure in descending parallel sixths)

Meet on...etc.


Between the chorus and the next verse is a guitar figure backed by the
piano playing in F:

|-----13-----------11----------10---------8|
|------------------------------------------|
|12/14--------10/12--------8/10--------6/8-|
|------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------|

Which resolves to Bb at the start of the verse.
