Request(s) Great Big Sea / Bat McGrath

PJ - Do you have any interest in Great Big Sea? Several of their songs are up on the web, but I'm not happy with the chords - "End of the World" is a good example as well as "Old Black Rum".

Have you ever heard Bat McGrath? He's written dozens of songs but none have published chords. I've worked out a few with a little help from Bat if you'd like them. His web site is www.batmcgrath.com

Rick,

Really sorry, but I'm not familiar with either of these artists.

Hopefully someone else on the forum might be able to help.

Re: Request(s) Great Big Sea / Bat McGrath

I'd like any Bat Mcgrath guitar tabs if you have them. I grew up near Lake Ontario and remember him and Don Potter.. Especially "Blue Eagle."

Thanks,
Len Squires

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane - Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
C Fmaj7
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn world serves its own needs, don't misserve your own needs.

Feed it up a knock, speed, grunt no, strength no. Ladder structure clatter with fear of height, down height.
Eb Dm
Wire in a fire, represent the seven games in a government for hire and a combat site.

Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck.

Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered crop. Look at that low plane! Fine then.
C Fmaj7
Uh oh, overflow, population, common group, but it'll do. Save yourself, serve yourself.

You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty psyched.

Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign tower. Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn.
C Fmaj7
Lock him in uniform and book burning, blood letting. Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate.
C Fmaj7
Light a candle, light a motive. Step down, step down. Watch a heel crush, crush.

Uh oh, this means no fear - cavalier. Renegade and steer clear!
Fmaj7 Eb Dm
A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies. Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline.

The other night I tripped a nice continental drift divide.Mount St. Edelite. Leonard Bernstein.

Leonid Breshnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs. Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom!
Eb Dm
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam, but neck, right? Right.
