I'm thirteen, and I don't know how to play any songs. Can you give me some chords, please? I'm looking for the chords to virtually any Celtic instrumental, but I should like to know Red Haired Boy as well.... Could somebody please help?

a simple tune, the name which escapes me

Dm C Dm Dm
F C C Dm


E| | |
A| | 00000 | 33300
D| 00000 020 | 00035 | 520 00000
G| 55 | | 55


what those little breaks do is mark where i play a chord over the melody. strt with a Dm, then play the first part. then another Dm, and play the second part. then a C and play the third part. end with another Dm.

cheers.

Hey Sturbs, is there a reason you want to learn chords before learning a simple single note melody? I think most beginners find the single note melodies easier than chords.

Either way welcome to the world of mando. You can play for the rest of your life and still have new things to learn.

These two finger chords are a good place to start

LEarn the open chords and look on tabrobot for chord charts of songs you know and love. The joy of learning to play songs dear to your heart will nourish your interest.

It's really entertaining that the song Young Ned of the hill by The Pogues stands listed as a pre-1900 song on that site http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

But it's a great site anyhow, thanks for the link and sorry for not sticking to topic. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif

"Ned Of The Hill" is also a translation of the Gaelic "Éamonn A'Chnoic" which is an old traditional song (not the same as the Pogues' one). That's probably where the confusion came from.

I beleive that the pogues just arranged the music for young ned of the hill. I have seen the song (lyrics) in traditional song books with a different tune to it.
