_ [A#] _ So here [N] we go with a basic version of _ a tune, a grand old tune called the Earl's Chair.
_ _ _ _ It's a tune I probably heard from a Caley band when I was a teenager.
_ _ A very kind of strong, robust tune.
_ _ _ I remember Paddy Canning and PJ Hayes played it on a record. _ _ _ _ _
_ But you won't have to travel too far to hear this tune in sessions.
_ _ _ _ And like most popular tunes there are many different ways of playing it.
But I'll try and restrict myself to a basic version for the purpose of this segment.
_ So we start on a dotted B.
[A#] _ _ _ [F#] And then two shorter Bs.
And _ _ _ _ _ _ [G#] as usual I would often join those two smaller Bs into one stroke.
And separate them by adding a grace note onto the second [A#] B. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ So that opening measure _ [A#] there_
_ _ [N] Sorry, opening two measures.
They're the same except for the last note.
[A#] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
[D] The first one.
[F#] _ _ _ _ [A#] _
_ _ _ _ So the first one ends on A.
_ _ _ _ _ And the second one ends on B. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And now we have_ _ _ _ _
[G#] Hello!
Here we go with the Earl's Chair for the more advanced players.
_ _ So we'll play it a little bit quicker, a little bit more like a regular pace for a rail.
_ _ _ And_ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ Sometimes I add chords for that opening note.
_ _ _ The open D string.
_ [F#m] _ Or [Bm] the F sharp. _ _
[F#m] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ And sometimes I change the timing of those opening notes.
The [F#m] B [G] and [Bm] the _ dotted long B and the eighth note.
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [N] _
