Submariner has some difficult time changes, but in other parts song is very simple. And beautiful of course

    C           FMaj7   G         C
We run along easy   at periscope depth
                Dm7         G
Sun dappling through clear water
 F            G            C         Am
So went the dream of the drowned submariner
      F    C/G   G            Am
Far awa     -    y from the slaughter

      C               FMaj7      G            C
Your hair is a strawflower that sings in the sun
                  Dm7     G
My darling, my beautiful daughter
 F            G            C         Am
So went the dream of the drowned submariner
       F   C/G   G         Am
Cast awa    -    y on the water

From down in the vault, down in the grave
         F          C/G          G
Reaching up to the light on the waves


 C          FMaj7     G          C
So she did run to him over the grass
                Dm7          G
She fell in his arms and he caught her
 F            G            C         Am
So went the dream of the drowned submariner
    F    C/G  G         Am
Far awa   -   y on the water

Far awa   -   y on the water

That's great!

Up for Yon Two Crows?

[foma]

Well I'm totally shoked with B-sides, so I want to transcribe them instead

But Yon Two Crows is good too, will do.

No rush

Well, go ahead with the B-sides! Thanks a lot btw for the chords you figured out already, it's helpful to have chords figured out by a true MK fan. On the internet there's usually too many wrong stuff out there.

[foma]

Thanks localhero1986! I'll say more, even official books usually goes too wrong!

I remember Ragpicker's Dream tab book, where you can find Marbletown done in standard tuning and without capo... that's sounds awful. Shame!

And bad rhythm guitar in Sailing to Philadelphia... the list of errors is endless. Not that I want from official books anyway.

[richardmu]

Seems pretty accurate for Go,Love. Kinda not liking how alot of these songs on this album have similar chords from playing along myself but just moving the capo up/down.

[foma]

Rare using of diminished chord in Blood and Water.

And in one of bonus songs Mark used half-diminished (I clearly heard it, but I dont picked out the song yet). Like in Postcards.

I can say KtGC was much more simpler, I've picked up all the songs by one take for an our. Here I put 2 songs for a day

Look at this chorus! That a test for ears. If somebody will ever try this, tell me that you think please.

     Am                         G           Am
The high priest of money looks down on the river
     F          G                     Em
The dawn coming up on his kingdom of gold
          Am                     G         Am
When the rim of the sun sends an arrow of silver
     F           Em                         Am
He prays to the gods of the bought and the sold

    Am                        G          Am
He turns to his symbols, his ribbons of numbers
      F           G                       Em
They circle and spin on their mystical scroll
    Am                         G           Am
He looks for a sign while the city still slumbers
         F               Em              Am   Asus2  Am
And the ribbons and the river forever unroll

                   Am   Asus2  G
In his kingdom of gold
     CMaj7      D/F#  D/F#  Dsus2/F#
His kingdom of gold

Am

On the horizon   an enemy haven
        F         G                      Em
Sends traces of smoke high up into the sky
   Am                        G         Am
A pack of dog jackals and a rabble of ravens
        F            Em                      Am

[emilianomk]

sounds great! you forgot to put Am in the end of the first line

The chorus sounds really good

[foma]

Oh, thanks. Edited. So I've done second disc. Nine songs left...

[emilianomk]

river of grog seems a pretty challenge

[foma]

Yes, because I don't have text

Guitar alone are most easy thing to transcribe really. I've transcribed Tommy Emmanuel a lot for example.

[foma]

Seattle turned out slightly more complex tune than I thought at the first time.
