King Williams March - Chord help please
« on: October 17, 2010, 08:17:45 PM »

A friend of mine has got me learning this version of King Williams March.
It's not the one you usually find when searching Google which is a jig in D maj, I have found this version on recordings.

I am really struggling trying to work out the chords, I'm tonally challenged at the best of times.
I'm fairly happy with the chords for the A part but know there are alternatives.
It's the B part that is driving me batty, I can see its gone sort of modal and am guessing that the three chords it could work around are Am, Em and D maj but am not sure.

So, here's the tune, what do any you more expert players think?

Just from looking at it (and thus practicing for the AS music exam  :P), I got

That may just be me being inventive though.

What a perculiar tune.

Thanks Ollie.
Really appreciated.

Sounds good on abc explorer, I'll give it a go on the box when I get home.
