Gentle[Dm] men it is my duty[C] [G] [C] To in[Dm]form you of one beauty[C] [G] [C]

Though I'd a[Dm]sk you of a favor, no to s[C]eek[G] he[C]r f[G]or [C]awh[G]ile

Though I [Dm]own she is a creature[C] [G] [C] Of [Dm]character and feature[C] [G] [C]

No [Dm]words can [Bb]paint the [C]picture of the [Am]Queen of ole Ar[Dm]gyll

CHORUS (Same chord progression)

And if you could have seen her there, boys if you had just been there

This one was in her movement, and the morning in her smile

All the roses in the garden, they bow and ask her pardon

For not one could match the beauty of the queen of ole Argyll

More Verses:

On that evening that I mention, I passed with light intention

Through a part of our dear country known for beauty and for style

Bein' a place of noble thinkers, of scholars and great drinkers

But above them all for splendour shone the Queen of Ole Argyll

CHORUS

Throw in a solo here.

So my lads my needs must leave you, my intention no to grieve you

Nor indeed would I decieve you, oh I'll see you in awhile

I must find some way to gain her, to court her and to tame her

I fear my heart's in danger from the Queen of ole Argyll

CHORUS (do it twice or so)

FINALE -- run through the Riffs..

Great song, I still have not mastered the lead stuff fully, but then again

it took two guitars to do it on the albulm. Have fun, and if you enjoyed this

TAB, and have other Celtic stuff. PLEASE! post it on alt.guitar.tab, or FTP

it to ftp.nevada.edu...or mail it to me. Thanks.

#                        The Queen of Argyll            (Arr. Silly Wizard)
#
#This is a fun little Celtic ditty from the Albulm "Best of Silly Wizard" on
#Shananchie Records. It is played blindingly fast (as observed on the albulm).
#The TAB parts are played as INTRO, SOLO, and FINALE, just with differing
#combinations of Riff 1 followed by Riffs 2 and 3. However, the guitarist only
#seems to speed up towards the end (blister's on me fingers! hehe) Anyhow,
#this song isn't probably too popular or well known with most folks, so have
#some fun with it if you know it. And send me any mistakes if I have them.

#Celtic music is TOTALLY oriented into massive sessions of hammer/pulls and
#slides. Have fun with this technique, and you're sure to pull through some
#interesting things. Here are the lyrics, they follow a straight chord
#progression. Riff 3 leads into the first verse, with the chord starting the
#strumming as indicated. Go for it, you should see smoke on your strings when
#you break
Gentle[Dm] men it is my duty[C]  [G]  [C]  To in[Dm]form you of one beauty[C][G][C]
Though I'd a[Dm]sk you of a favor, no to s[C]eek[G] he[C]r f[G]or [C]awh[G]ile
Though I [Dm]own she is a creature[C]  [G]  [C] Of [Dm]character and feature[C][G][C]
No [Dm]words can [Bb]paint the [C]picture of the [Am]Queen of ole Ar[Dm]gyll
CHORUS (Same chord progression)
And if you could have seen her there, boys if you had just been there
This one was in her movement, and the morning in her smile
All the roses in the garden, they bow and ask her pardon
For not one could match the beauty of the queen of ole Argyll
More Verses:
On that evening that I mention, I passed with light intention
Through a part of our dear country known for beauty and for style
Bein' a place of noble thinkers, of scholars and great drinkers
But above them all for splendour shone the Queen of Ole Argyll
CHORUS
Throw in a solo here.
So my lads my needs must leave you, my intention no to grieve you
Nor indeed would I decieve you, oh I'll see you in awhile
I must find some way to gain her, to court her and to tame her
I fear my heart's in danger from the Queen of ole Argyll
CHORUS (do it twice or so)
FINALE -- run through the Riffs..
Great song, I still have not mastered the lead stuff fully, but then again
it took two guitars to do it on the albulm. Have fun, and if you enjoyed this
TAB, and have other Celtic stuff. PLEASE! post it on alt.guitar.tab, or FTP
it to ftp.nevada.edu...or mail it to me. Thanks.
