_ So here we go with a very basic version of the tune Juliet Delaney. _ _ _ _
It's a tune that's played a lot in Ireland, but it probably was born in Chicago.
_ _ _ There was a famous music collector _ in Chicago, the police chief, Francis O'Neill,
and he used to collect _ music from so many of the Irish immigrants that moved to Chicago in the late 1800s, early 1900s. _
And he compiled a lot of them into a famous collection, a famous book,
which is like the Bible of _ Irish tunes for many people, the O'Neill's collection. _ _
But Juliet Delaney was his wife's sister, so it's presumed _ somebody who knew them in Chicago _ put this tune together and named it after O'Neill's sister-in-law.
_ _ _ [C#] So [F] _ _
_ [Bm] _ [Fm] _ _ _ that's the opening phrase, and it's mainly built around [A] those three long notes.
_ [Fm] _ [Bm] _ _ [Fm] _ _ And then the next phrase, _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [D] _ _ _ so the two together, _
[Fm] _ [Bm] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ and they're usually linked by an A pick-up note.
[A#] So here's the tune Juliet Delaney with a few embellishments and ideas that you might like.
The long notes at the beginning, I usually put rolls on them. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ So, sometimes I [D] don't go back up to the F natural.
_ _ _ _ _ [E] I go [F#m] down to the open D, and because [G] it's an open string, it won't have the roll on it.
[F#] I usually just leave it as it [Bm] is. _ _ _
[G] _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [D] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [G] _
