WILLIE AND DANNY
Volunteers Willie Fleming and Danny Doherty were brutally shot dead by the SAS
while on active service on 6 December 1984.
[Am] Try to sing some [C] songs of [G] glory
[Am] Sing some songs of [C] peace
[Am] But in the end it's the [C] same old [G] story
They're [C] both so [G] hard to [Em] reach.
[Am] People tell me they're [C] sick and [G] tired
Of [Am] seeing this place run [C] down
Well I say: [Am] Take your blindfold [C] off, you [G] hypocrite
And [C] help us to get [G] off the [Em] ground.
[chorus]
Please say it isn't [Am] so [G]
Why Willie and [C] Danny had to [G] go
The reason's very [Am] clear [G]
They're laying down their [C] lives for us year after [G] year.
Seventy shots between their bodies
Not one of those bullets missed
For every trigger pulled that morning
A volunteer will enlist
For five long hours they left them lying there
The priest was turned away
So another step lower for those SAS bastards
We'll never forget the day.
The funerals were to prove their worthiness
Thousands thronged the streets
While those Borstel Boys hovered helplessly overhead
The 'Ra came out to salute
They emptied their magazines over each coffin
Defiantly the crowd were sent
So another day dawns and the guns will be out again
Cause Willie and Danny had friends.

Nearly, mo chara. I've ammended the chords, but bear in mind, I'm notorious for playing many different versions, so sometimes there are subtle changes. I've also left out some of the more "colourful" chords, I play a few suspended and diminished chords in there on ocassion, but you don't need them to get a good version. The core of the song is basically this. Hope it helps.

Gary, a chara
Where are you playing tonight ?
Oh of course, you're an imposter !!
Would the real Gary Og please stand up !
Posted by: Gary Og Sep 9 2005, 06:09 PM
Nowhere tonight a chara, however, one question, why would I take the time to correct the music and words of these songs, if i was an imposter?
And for the record, I'm quite happy sitting down, thanx!

Cruncher arranged for some tickets for the huns match for me (home league game) and your mate got them for me, what was his name. (I picked them up at the Brazen) ?
Stumped ? 
Posted by: Gary Og Sep 12 2005, 01:14 PM
The fella's name was Ryan, mo chara. Cruncher asked us to get them while we were drinking in McGlaughlins bar in Belfast. Is this satisfactory?
Posted by: Sean Sep 12 2005, 01:41 PM
Chucky Armagh, is it right???
Posted by: Chucky Armagh Sep 12 2005, 10:00 PM
Absolutley satisfactory a chara,
Apologies for being a doubter !! And thanks for the tickets !
Posted by: Gary Og Sep 13 2005, 01:43 PM

Cheers an God Bless.
Stevie_Bhoy, my gaelic is nowhere near good enough to attempt to write out the song, but I'll make a deal. If you post up the words, I'll add in the chords.
All the best

I'll jump in here and post the Gaelic lyrics to Amhr�n na bhFiann, cuz I also want to know the chords of Gary's version. =)
Seo dhibh a ch�irde duan �glaigh,

A t� f� gheall ag �irinn,

Thar toinn do r�inig chugainn,
F� mh�id bheith saor.
Sean t�r �r sinsir feasta
N� fhagfar f�'n tior�n n� f�n tr�il

Le gean ar Ghaeil chun b�is n� saoil
Le guna screach f� l�mhach na bpil�ar
Seo libh cana�dh Amhr�n na bhFiann.
Cois b�nta r�idhe, ar �rdaibh sl�ibhe,
Ba bhuachach �r sinsir romhainn,
Ag l�mhach go tr�an f�'n s�r-bhrat s�in
T� thuas sa ghaoith go seolta
Ba dh�chas riamh d'�r gcine ch�idh
Gan iomp�il siar � imirt �ir,

This is the very basic version. I've always felt that because this song is the national anthem,
that it should be played basic and simple. no showing off or experimenting with this song. There are some who use different and certainly more chords in their versions, but as I said, I believe in keeping this one simple.

Sin ceart! I totally agree...
I have a more "detailed" (complicated?)
version somewhere at home. I could have a look for it, justin case someone is interested.
But ... go raibh maith agat for this version!
(For the Gaeilge afficionados: There's another lyrics version as Gaeilge with a slightly different (older) spelling.
I have that one as well
...just drop a line, and I'll have a look where it is... )Posted by: remember Charles Kerins Nov 10 2005, 04:26 PM

Yous all know I presume , that after coming to power Eamonn Delvalera changed the translation of the first line national anthem to Fainna Fail in order to take the mantel of Irish republicanism. many old time or long time republicans sing laochra gael, or laochra fail to distingusih fom the 'free state version. it is of course a matter of choice.

Anbhoy, stick up the words of the songs you want and I'll fill in the chords. I think a new thread for each song is the best way.

TAL
I don't read music/stave notation or TAB. I play everything by ear and I've said before somewhere here, I don't even know the names of most of the chords I play. So explaining a solo on here is difficult for me. How much help do you need? We could maybe work it out together by pm if you are stuck at bits, but if it's the whole solo note for note you want I don't know really how to explain it, providing I can even remember how I played it back then.

Ok what scale do you use and what is your starting point on the fret board?
Posted by: Gary Og Jun 15 2006, 08:39 PM
I'm in the key of Bm, using Am Scale(Capo 2nd fret), I think the first note of the solo should be A (1st string, 5th fret), in fact it is a slide note(I have no guitar here I'm having to imagine it), so it's a slide note from G(1st string 3rd fret) to the A note.
