Subject: chord: Maggie Coulter by Uisce Beatha
Maggie Coulter By Uisce Beatha
Cappo is on first fret inorder to make it sound like the album (The Mystic
of the Baja)
Intro: Am Em Am Em Am Em Am Em C Dm Am Em Am Em Am Em Am
Am Em
I come to town lookin' for my love
Am Em
she's the sweet one Maggie Coulter
she left the field of her father's farm
with a kit bag on her shoulder
C Dm
we were going to wed in a nearby town
Am
when November winds came colder
she ran and cried she thought I'd died
Am Em Am
cause that's what her father told her
she's sure to be wearing a wedding gown
was her mother's mums before her
you'd only have to see her once
and you'd know why I adored her
she's got strands of hair like the angel's fair
and lips like the reddest roses
but I'll tell you now that I'll cut down
any man who dares proposses
CHORUS
so I've got to run
while I've got the sun
before the ship rolls with the tide
and we'll sail away
at the break of day
never again will she leave my side (REPEAT INTRO)
when she heard the news of my demise
she was overcome with sorrow
she donned her gown
and she knew if she ran
she could catch that ship tommorrow
and when the boat went out to sea
she could throw herself in the water
for she couldn't swim
she knew she'd be dead
by the time that the fishermen caught her
CHORUS
well I reached the shore
but the ship had sailed
and with it went my true love
I swam for miles in the water's wild
but I couldn't catch my true love
and I heard a voice like a swallow's song
as the moon rose up above me
so I let the tide take me down inside
to the one who'll always love me
CHORUS
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official UISCE BEATHA tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
