Charlie Livaditis- Thank you! I am already subscribed. I actually found this song through WeyrdMusicMan. I like the underground lo fi feeling of the recorded tapes.
Now it sounds in key when I play along!
Do you have tabs or chords for this song?
@@TheSteelTech I do, let me know if you still want them
@@rkt739 That would be great, thanks.
@@TheSteelTech no tabs. Chords are as follows.
Verse:
Jayme (Em) Dawson…of the (G) Christian and her crew,
And he (D) flew…in the (Em) War of Eighty- (D) -Two.
Now the (Em) Christian was…'tween (G) here and Charlemagne,
And the (D) crew…was the (Em) same.
Chorus:
There are (G) stories of the (Em) Dutchman, the (G) Celeste and Barnham's (Em) Pride,
There are (D) stories…the (Em) Lady at his (D) side,
But the (G) tale…my (Em) spirit, more be- (G) -cause I know it's (Em) true,
Is the (D) tale…and his (Em) crew,
Yes, the (D) tale…and her (Em) crew.
rkt739 thank you so much for these!
thank you for uploading this clearer version
Thank you for uploading this in HQ! The original is the best. :)
This sounds like Vic Tyler. I know that somewhere on YT there is a 'remstered' tape and the speed is much slower. More like a ballad's lament. Duane Elms wrote this song, and he sings it 'very' fast. This is my favorite Filk song.. Well, the Elven Knight, too. LOL
Well, this version came from a tape that swears Larry Warner is the singer. Vic Tyler's recording of the song is on RUclips too, though, and you can compare them. It's the one from the tape Carmen Miranda's Ghost.
@@rkt739 Larry is a friend. It's most definitely Larry's voice. Someone else is playing guitar though.
@@Rocketsong according to the tape card, Larry is singing and Duane is on guitar.
@@rkt739 it's possible the order got reversed during the printing?
Maybe try to reach out and find answers?
@@mycoolhandgiveit why would there be a mistake? There's no contradiction here. Larry is singing, Duane is playing, and Vic is not involved.
man....I need to learn how to play this song.
Verse:
Jayme Dawson was the Captain of the Christian and her crew,
And he flew and fought the Christian in the War of '82.
Now the Christian was the tightest ship 'tween here and Charlemagne,
And the crew of Jayme Dawson was the same.
And so on... note that it doesn't go verse chorus verse chorus, or even any particular pattern, the chorus is played between "acts" in the story, as it were.
Chorus:
There are stories of the Dutchman, the Celeste and Barnham's Pride,
There are stories of the Horseman and the Lady at his side,
But the tale that chills my spirit, more because I know it's true,
Is the tale of Jayme Dawson and his crew, Yes, the tale of Dawson's Christan and her crew.
@@jermainerace4156 Hmm. Thanks for looking into it. I'll have to try it out.
@@jermainerace4156 thanks man I was actually looking for this earlier today. =)
@@jermainerace4156 I'm looking at the songbook now. The second line of the chorus goes D-Em-D, not just D-Em, but otherwise you're pretty much spot on.
@@rkt739 After reviewing my own sources, I find that you are correct, I've been missing a whole chord change in there. This is the nature of folk music though; almost no-one actually plays it the same as anyone else.
Also; which songbook did you have? I've been looking for filk songbooks for a year and a day, not much luck. The only thing I have is a PDF copy of "The Retune of the Mad Scientist" by Gary McGath.
Close your eyes, miner.
No dislikes!!!
Disliking this song gets you one way ticket to the airlock. No wonder no one dares.
It has two now
This sounds way sped up, is this really the actual speed?!
If it sounds sped up, you've probably been listening to old, stretched tape. This was recorded from a new tape.
@@rkt739 honestly I think the streched version is much better, the mood and feeling is diffrent, its like a real space navy veteran telling us a ghost story
This guitarist is using a much more complex arrangement than found on "Carmen's Miranda Ghost," and so it sounds as if it's much faster. But the vocals are actually a bit slower that the Vic Tyler interpretation.
@@Balpindo you could always try playing it on 0.75 speed. I tried it and it doesn’t sound particularly distorted
@@epicsakura101 thats exactly what i was about to say, listening to it like that now, and it even sounds like vic tyler
slow it down to 0.90 and it sounds normal
I'm pretty sure my tape deck didn't speed it up by >10%
@@rkt739 no, we're just saying Duane sang it too fast, lol
@@MajesticSkywhale well, it's Larry singing, but Duane would presumably have told him to slow down if he didn't want it this fast
@@rkt739 no i know what i mean is even if he wanted it this speed this particular song could work a lot better slower. I know he doesn't like long songs or whatever but there's content here for an epic and i could see it being 8 with other music but even the .90 like OP says is an improvement. Lyrics are brilliantly moving, anyway
I feel like I'm the only person here from SS13. Lol
You're not alone friend, there's plenty of steely eyed spessmen about.
@@TheOnlyMasterChef Huzzah!
:g absorbing ai in dorms
The tale that chills my spirit is the Tale of the ICS Nerva and her Crew.
Oorah brother.
