Hi Lieven,

I have said for many years that there only one song that I wish to be played at my funeral. It is, in fact a hymn, and not a pop song and really is not a funeral song at all, but it has always been my favourite hymn and it suits my romantic nature -  "When A Knight Won His Spurs". For those who do not know this one here is link to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ue9-gGQqVPM

As I like this so much it is my intention to record it so that I can sing it along with everyone else at my funeral, all Chordians will be invited of course but I hope it will not be for many years yet.

Hi Geo,

Wikipedia has a quite interesting article on the Portuguese guitar, which explains the tuning and the method of playing. The link is:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_guitar

Sadly I have never had my hands on one so I cannot help in a practical sense.

Hi Steve and welcome to Chordie,

I suggest you look up the song on YouTube and watch and copy one of the guitarists. However when there are at least two guitars being played one guitar is NEVER going to sound like them.

Personally as I cannot sing or play like the Pogues (or any one else for that matter) when I perform any song I play it the way that I like to hear it hoping that others have my taste and enjoy my version when I do so.

Hi Isaacmacdonald2012 and welcome to Chordie,

This question has been asked many times before and my answer is always the same. If you really want to impress your young lady then write a song yourself for her. This way you you can convey whatever personal message you want to give her and it can be in a style that both of you like.

Why give her a song that has been used and abused by thousands when you can give a song that is unique?

Hi Saratica,

Welcome to Chordie.

I have copied my reply from another thread which posed a similar question which may help you.

Sorry to hear about this problem but it is almost certainly a problem with your PC and not with Chordie.

I have a similar problem with my HP printer. It will only print the chords when I use the Windows drivers and with the HP drivers it will not. I have set my PC up with two printer profiles, each having the different drivers to overcome my problem. I am not saying that your problem is the same as mine but it is certainly worth looking at your printer drivers.

Hi Russ,

A lovely song and a great recording.

The problem with the chord shape was that you wrote Cma7 instead of Cmaj7. I have taken the liberty of amending your posting, I hope you don't mind.

Hi Sapnu,

Hijacking someone else's thread with a completely unrelated and misplaced enquiry is not the way to get results.

There is a seperate section called 'Song Requests' that is specifically for requesting lyrics, chords and tabs for a song. So please nip there and start your own thread for your request.

Roger

HI James,

I particuarly like the chord sequence in this one and the lyrics are great.

The typo at the start of the second verse definitely adds to the song so please do not correct it

Roger

Well done Toney,

I am amazed at what you have been able to accomplish after such a severe accident which would have stopped most people from ever picking up a guitar again. I am so pleased that you are getting the recognition you deserve and I raise my glass to you sir.

Roger

Hi Helena,

I hope you are on the mend and will soon be back to your usual self.

Great song, it play very well indeed. Although it is a long time since I let alcohol get the better of me I still remember, and fear, the sensation of losing control of myself. As Ark has already said it is a bad master.

Roger

Hi Greendale,

A nice little number from you. Any chance of hearing a recording of this, please? Well done.

Roger
