Topic: CHANT TO CALL THE RUNE

THIS IS A BLATANT ATTEMPT AT FOLK/ROCK MUSIC. I HAVE BEEN GREATLY INFLUENCED BY JETHRO TULL SINCE THE 70's.
I PLAY THIS WITH A CAPO ON THE 5th FRET, SO THE "F" IS A "C"SHAPE ETC. IT'S A WALTZ
I DONT REALLY BELIEVE IN "FAERIES".

CHANT TO CALL THE RUNEPhill Williams


[F] OF LATE I HAVE BEEN [C] DREAMING [Dm] TALES OF FAERIE [Am] FOLK


WITH THEIR [F]MAGIC AND THEIR [C] WISHES


AS THEY [Dmaj] TAKE AWAY YOUR [G7] HOPE




HOW THEY [F] DANCE IN THE [C] DARK WOODS


HOW THEY [Dm] WEAVE THEIR FAERIE [Am]SPELL


WHILE THEY [F] PLY YOU WITH THEIR [C] GOLDEN CROWNS


THEY [D7] DESPATCH YOUR SOUL TO [G7] HELL

AND A [C] CHANT TO CALL THE [F] RUNE-[Bb] OOH-[F] OOH[C] OON




SO LISTEN GREAT OBERON;                          (REP CHORDS FROM 1st VERSE)


YOUR TRICKS WONT WORK ON ME


FOR I AM MADE OF FLESH AND BONE


AND SAIL A SHIP AT SEA




SWEET WINE AND RINGS OF MARIGOLDS AND LAY BENEATH A SKY


WITH STARS AND MOON AND BATS THAT CALL


A HAUNTING LULLABY




rep chorus




FIGURES MOVING IN THE GLOW OF A FIRES DANCING FLAME


THEY GAMBOL LIKE A LEAF THAT SHIVERS IN WINTERS GALE


I FIGHT TO SAVE MY SOUL FROM BEING TORN OUT THROUGH MY EARS


BUT IT'S TOO LATE THE RUNE HAS COME, I LIVE MY GREATEST FEAR





rep chorus




OH GREAT OBERON YOU'VE WON AGAINST MY WILL   (REP CHORDS FROM 1st VERSE)


I HAVE NO STRENGTH I HAVE NO FIGHT


YOU HAVE THE MAGIC STILL






I HAVE NO WINGS, I CANNOT FLY                (REP CHORDS FROM 2nd VERSE)


AND I AM TOO TIRED TO FIGHT


DON'T PLY ME WITH YOUR GOLDEN CROWNS


AND FAERIE RINGS TONIGHT




rep chorus




PLAY [Bb] PIPES AND DANCE THE [F] NIGHT AWAY [C] BENEATH THE FAERIE MOON [F]


IN A [Bb] RING OF GOLDEN [F] DAFFODILS


AND A [C] CHANT TO CALL THE RUNE [F] OOH Bb] -OOH [F] -0OH [C]- OON X2




THE DREAM BEGINS TO DARKEN, MY EYES BEGIN TO FAIL    (REP 1st VERSE CHORDS)


BUT THE MORE I SEE THE LESS I FEEL


AND THEY DRAG MY SOUL AWAY




HOW YOU DANCED IN THE DARK WOODS       (REP CHORDS FROM 2nd VERSE)


AND YOU WEAVED YOUR FAERIE SPELL


AND UPON YOUR HEAD A FAERIE CROWN


DESPATCH MY SOUL TO HELL




rep chorus

Re: CHANT TO CALL THE RUNE

Phill Williams,

Oh i love this piece. So so good.  I have a bag of runes i was given as a gift some years ago.  I am assuming your faeries are the same as our Fairy.

My favourite is The Lady of Charlott! She was known to us as the Lake fairy.

When you get time check out "The children of Lir" I reckon you will love the story.

Thank you for this it was a pleasure to read. I do believe! All things magical
that happen  to us, is the positive vibes we give and recieve.

Hi Phill,

"Don't believe in faeries"!!!, of course there are faeries, when I was a kid everytime I lost a tooth the Tooth Faerie would leave a shilling for it whilst I was asleep.

I did enjoy what I was able to play of your song. Unfortunately, when playing a completely unknown song I cannot remember ther chord sequence so I can only play as much as has the chords listed but what I played was good.

Re: CHANT TO CALL THE RUNE

Hi Roger,

I'd forgotten about the tooth fairy, made a packet when i was 9..[don't tell my parents]

Shillings? you must be as old as me!

PS
I know you've done it so can you give me some hints on how i can post a recording on my space? i already have an account, but i cant find any facility for uploading a song.

keep up the good work

Re: CHANT TO CALL THE RUNE

Hi Phill,

Done MySpace? I have four of them to look after!!.

I think what you have done is what I did and many others have and signed up for an ordinary account instead of signing up as an Artist. I had to cancel mine, wait a couple of days and then re-sign as an Artist but I am sure I remember seeing somewhere that there is a was to convert now. Try looking in the MySpace FAQ. If you have problems please come back to me.
