I have written it in the key of A for sanity. Enya does this with a simple pick: T234 T3 (or some variation thereof) VOCAL VERSION: (it's simple, but it works) -just pick the chords; this song is meant to show off vocal improvisation, and the very nice slides up to the higher notes. And don't spare the sentimentality; Remember valentine's day isn;t that far away! Time sig: feels like a 3/4 to me:
AI dreamt I dE7welt in mAarble halls E7 (bm) (E7) A with vassals and serfs by my side And-Aof all those who asE7sembled Awithin those walls E7 (Bm) (E7) A that I was the hope and the pride. -------------------------------------------------------- **if picking ignore the optional chords; nice for strumming)
AI had E7riches Bmtoo great to Acount and a E7high anBmcestral Ename ...... E7but AI also E7dreamt which Apleased me most .....that E7 (Bm) A you loved me still the same. A Bm (A) E7 Bm A That you loved me.... you loved still the same; A Bm (A) E7 Bm A that you loved me ...you loved me still the same; A E7 (Bm) D E7 A that you loved me still.........the same.. ----------------------------------------------------------- vocal note: keep up the momentum, building on the last 4 lines; don't insert a rest between lines. ____________________________________________________________
