Fairytale Of New York Song Lyrics Guitar Chords
Fairytale of New York beginner piano notes now included. The fingerstyle / picking guitar tab included and a version in DADGAD tuning in a PDF file.. Probably the best Christmas song of all time and I also say Shane is one of the greatest songwriters of all time. Tin whistle sheet music music notes are included, which are suitable for other musical instruments such as accordion, banjo, and keyboard.don't forget to try the capo if the key doesn't suit your voice. [ Letter notes are also suited to recorder, melodica and flute ].
Recorded by The Pogues And Kirsty McColl, Kirsty was the daughter of Ewan McColl who
was married to Peggy Seeger. The video is one of the first demo takes where Cath O'Riordian who was the bass player does the duet with Shane. This version is much slower and most of the song is with just the accordion playing lead notes. This slower take is ideal for anybody trying to learn the lead notes on banjo, accordion or tin whistle.
This song was voted the third best Christmas hit by readers of Time Out Magazine in England. Shane says that when they were being produced by Elvis Costello that Costello made a bet with him that he couldn't write a Christmas duet to sing with the Pogues bass
player Cath o'Riordan who later became the wife of Elvis costello. Cath recorded a guide version of Fairytale on vocals and later left the group with her part being given to Kirsty McColl.
