Great tune. And they're still gigging. Not an expert but sounds like it's in the key of A.

B A maybe an F# and and E in there and a C#

The verse sounds to me like mostly B and  A with the chorus going E F# C# B.

Someone please correct me before I make an arse o myself. Very rough but I hope it gets you closer.

This is something that happens to me on a regular basis. Maybe it's not a plateau in learning but a point where you get fed up playing the same songs all the time. I find that's what I'd call it for me. Don't get me wrong there is always room for more learning and I'm just at the beginning of my journey with this instrument, but it's always a new song or an oldie rediscovered, or even a song heard in a new light that get's me going again. And if it looks too hard then I keep coming back to it. If a chord looks beyond you, remember there is more than one way to play it.

While at this "stuck" point I usually start to look more into music theory and the mind numbing boredom that is learning scales. From there I tend to drift into experimenting with chord progressions and flat-picking (my finger picking sucks big time). In other words - making stuff up and seeing if there is anything pretty comes out. You'll amaze yourself at what can come out of your fingers. It's also this amazement that keeps things buzzing for me.

I hope I've explained this OK and it doesn't sound like so much pretentious drivvel.

The last thing the world needs is an 18 stone vegitarian with steroids in his nuts!

Before you know it the world would be populated by huge carrot munching nymphomaniacs.

Yea!! Breakthrough, Zurf.  I have to tell you, I couldn't play a barre chord for 2-3 years, but once the breakthrough happens, you'll wonder why you couldn't play them all allong. 
Talk about posture, know what I don't get, is rockers who sling their guitar real low, and can still hit bare chords.  I've tried it....trying to look cool in the mirror, and my left wrist is bent severely...I don't know how they do it.

Yeah! This is something which has always amazed me. I always thought it was maybe down to then having shovel sized hands.

IE.

It doesn't matter what book I select to add a song to, it goes into My Songbook anyway. It's easy enough to swap from there though.

I work with a vegitarian. He's 6ft 4 and about 18 stone. Work that one out. I think he must deep fry his lettuce.

Or even the way you hold the instrument all together. I recently had to check myself and found I had started to hold it ALL wrong. had to get back into good habits. Made a bg difference in barring as well as everything else.

I go through most days and usually hear at least one song that I think to myself "Ooooo, need to learn that". But by the time I get home and have fed the hungry mouths and stuff, I've forgotten what song it was.

So, bud_wiser, thank you, my Paisley Pal, you have just reminded me of a song I heard ages ago and had that wee voice tell me to remember - which I forgot.

Just had a wee go at it there. Good stuff.

Cheers mate.

Don't worry, acapo, over 20 years of togetherness (man and boy) have taught me how to perfect the ancient art of ignoring the Mrs.

lol smile

If i spend too much time on my guitar I tend to develop ear-ache. This is not down to my playing (bad as it is) but to my wife constantly nagging me to put the bloody thing away and get the housework done. lol

No

Having a British team then puts pressure on the individual associations to amalganate. If it starts with olympic then the pressure then starts for the same in all competitions and the collapse of 4 football associations.

It would all end in tears.

I'm writing this listening to the football on the radio and St Mirren have just gone a goal down to Motherwell. The tears have started already. sad

Old Doll,

the 1st Irish Famine and the Scottish highland clearances both happened within a few years of each other. So there would be folks moving from all over Ireland and the Highlands of Scotland at roughly the same time. I think we may have to call a tie on the "taking Halloween to America" competition.

Let's get drunk and hug our Celtic cousins!

I found this. Don't know if it's any use. I think the numbers refer to what's called Nashville Notation so it can be played in any key.

Oh, and welcome to Chordie!

Thanks Doc. Yeah, I've been all over youtube and the like. Nothing!
I'm only looking because someone asked me if I knew where they could find some kind of copy of this song. So I thought -  what better place to ask than Chordie?

Looks like a dead end.

There are times when I feel like eating those chipolatas.

I too came back to the guitar after about 12 years or so (can never remember exactly). Boy, does it knock you back on your ass for a while. But there's always something magical happens to keep the rekindled fire burning.

Love this site. Love this forum. Always learning. Always trying to do better. I feel a song coming on!

All the very best,

Al V
