[A] This is a song written by Pete Seeger [G] about Wales, the western [D] part of this beautiful country.
And most [B] specifically it's about the mining villages in Wales and the church in [D] those villages
and how the bells and the steeples of each of these churches has a different color, a different character to it.
[A] with a group called the Mitchell [Dm] Trio.
my solo number I picked this to sort of work out a little bit.
[G#] When Pete wrote it I think his intention was to make the 12 string guitar sound like [D] bells.
Oh what will you give me, say the [G] [G#] bells [E]
