Play along to Hayley's Music on the Guitar!

[BenCMitchell]

Hi folks

This post is going to focus on the song 'What You Never Know (Won't Hurt You)'. Although this song doesn't feature the guitar, it is still really nice to play along to!

This song was written by Stephan Moccio and Hayley Westenra, and the first thing I noticed was the key signature - F# major - 6 sharps!

Here we go!

Bmaj⁷................F#/C#....C#........F#
What you never know won't hurt you

Bmaj⁷................F#/C#...C#....F#
What you never know won't lie

Bmaj⁷................F#/C#...C#....F#.......Fmaj⁷
What you never know won't desert you

Bmaj⁷......................F#/C#...C#....F#.......B/F#......F#.....B/F#
What you never know won't say goodbye

B...................................C#.............F#
What you never know won't hurt you

B..................................C#.....F#
What you never know won't lie

B...................................C#.............F#
What you never know won't desert you

B..................................C#..........................F#.........B..........F#..........B
What you never know won't make you cry


......F#....................B
I'm falling for you

......F#....................B
I'm falling for you

......F#...........................B
My heart's torn in two

F#.........................B
I'm falling for you


Bmaj⁷................F#/C#....C#........F#.......C#/F#
What you never know won't hurt you

B..................................F#/C#...C#....F#
What you never know won't lie

B.......................F#/C#...C#...D#m....C#/E#...F#...F#/C#
What you never know won't desert you

B.................................C#sus⁴............................B/F#..........Violin
What you never know - unless ..........................you try


.....F#
I'm falling for you

....Bmaj⁷............B........F# ....(Violin ad lib)
I'm falling for you

Bmaj⁷.................B
I'm falling for you

When I heard this song I immediately began working it out! Its beautiful - Hayley's high notes are as pure as ever!

Personally, I loved working out this song more than any other because it is Hayley's own original work!

Hi folks

Its been a while since I sat down and dedicated some time to working out more songs, but here are the chords to 'Sonny'. Its a very simple song


.............Bb
Sonny lives on a farm, in a wide open space

.............................................Eb........Bb
Take off your shoes, stay out of the race

F
Lay down your head, on a soft river bed

.............Eb........................................Bb................F
Sonny always remembers the words Mamma says

Chorus

.............Bb
Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone

...........................................Eb...............Bb
Your Daddy's a sailor, never comes home

F
Nights are so long, silence goes on

Eb......................................Bb.............F
I'm feeling so tired and not all that strong


............Bb
Many years have rolled on, Sonny's old and alone

........................................Eb.............Bb
His Daddy the sailor, never came home

F
Sometimes he wonders what his life might have been

Eb.....................................Bb.........................F
Still from the grave Mamma still haunts his dreams

Outro

.............Bb
Sonny don't go away

There you go folks - its purely about the emotion, not about how technical the song is!

Enjoy!

Hi folks

I wasn't sure where to post this, but this seemed the most suitable place.

At the Banbury concert, I asked Tim, Andy and Hayley on the possibilities of a songbook being published for Winter Magic. Basically, I was wondering whom to contact regarding this. I know there is not much chance of one being published because of how poorly it might sell, but I'd like to ask anyway! Mark suggested someone to contact, but I can't remember who he suggested! My memory is like a sieve!

Any advice would be great!

Cheers,
Ben

[mihizawi]

That would be a great idea! If it had the main melody and the chords, I would definately buy it (I am asking as Christmas present the Celtic Woman Songbook).

Yeah its a good idea, but the amount of money made from sales would probably not equal the money spent on copyright, publishing and advertising (if any!) I'm just wondering if there is anyone at Bedlam whom I can contact about it...

I' not sure if there are any plans for a Japanese release of a song book for this album. I know that there was a Japan songbook release of 'Treasure' which I never even realised! It isn't available in the UK....

Hi folks

Sorry for not posting any song chords for a while!

Here are the chords for 'It's Only Christmas'. Its an easy song to play. The key is G major.


G..............................................................Cadd9
Do you remember what you wished for every Christmas?

...........D........................................G
Do you say a prayer and send it on a star?

.....................................................Cadd9
Well maybe I’m just being over sentimental.

........................................D......................G
But now its Christmas and I miss us most of all

.........................................................Cadd9
You know I never really took the time to thank you

.........D.............................................G
I was always thinking you were here to stay

.......................................................Cadd9
Is it’s something in the air that gets me crazy

.............................................D.....................G
Cause now its Christmas and I miss us just the same

..............Cadd9.....D
When it’s cold I get lonely

...........G............G/(F#).........Em
I can’t talk I can’t walk I can’t breathe

...........Cadd9..............D.....................G.............G/(F#)........Em
Then I dream and you hold me and the angels are singing with me

................Cadd9.................D...................G
I guess its Christmas when I miss us most of all

..........................................................................Cadd9
So let the snow come down and drown out all my sorrows

...........D................................G
Maybe I can dance again with you

..................................................................Cadd9
And as the children sing I swear I heard you whisper

...........................................D.....................G
That now its Christmas but I miss us just the same

................Cadd9.....D
When it’s cold I get lonely

...........G.............G/(F#)........Em
I can’t talk I can’t walk I can’t breathe

...........Cadd9..............D.....................G.............G/(F#)........Em
then I dream and you hold me and the angels are singing with me

................Cadd9...................D.................G
I guess its Christmas when I miss us most of all

................Cadd9...................D.................G
I guess its Christmas when I miss us most of all

.....................Cadd9...............D.....................G
Cause now its Christmas and I miss us most of all

There you go folks - enjoy!

Cheers,
Ben

Hi Ben and all,

My siblings and I were hoping to sing Love Love Love from HSJS2 for Mother's Day the week after next, but I can't find the chords anywhere on the internet, and I have no idea how to figure them out. Could you please help me out here? If it's not too much trouble/you're not too busy? It would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

cheers,
joanne

[stevemacdonald]

As long as we're on this subject -- does anyone know how to play the intricate guitar solo in the song "Heaven"?

Hi Ben, thanks very much! But I hope you see this before you start! A friend just taught me how to figure it out on the piano today, and I finished working it out right before I saw your message. I simplified the end, but it's sort of okay, as far as I can tell? I'll post it here in case anyone wants to use it/improve on it

cheers,
