From: Dexter N. Muir
Subject: Re: Lady Eleanor (Lindisfarne)


This is entirely from memory, and I never could get some of the words:

Lady Eleanor
Lindisfarne

Tuning: Standard EADGBE

Playing: Bar chords, E shapes:
Bm = Em bar 7
G = E bar 3
A = E bar 5

Intro: alternating Em, Bm


Verse 1:

Em Bm
Nasty fey magicians sit in lotus on the floor
Em Bm
Belly-dancing beauties and their power-laden swords
Em Bm
Hide my didn`t think it could be much more
G A Bm . . . <- fade
When in walked with the Lady Eleanor.


Verse 2:

She tied my eyes with a ribbon of a silken ghostly thread,
I gazed with troubled vision on an old four-poster bed
Where Eleanor had risen to kiss the neck below my head
And bid me come along with her to the land of the dancing dead,


Chorus:

G A Bm
But it`s al - right, Lady Eleanor,
G A Bm
Al - right, Lady Eleanor,
G A E Esus4 E Esus4
I`m alright where I am.

D----2---|----9---|
A---2-2--|---9-9--|
E0-----0-|7-----7-|

Verse 3:

She gazed with a love and beauty, like a mother to a son,
Like live and die, and see and be, and all rolled into one,
Then all at once I heard some music playing in my bones,
The same old song I`d heard for years, reminding me of home,


Chorus, [tab].


Verse 4:

Then creeping on towards me with their lips with tongues of fire
A host of golden demons screaming Lust! and Base desire!
And when it seemed for certain that their screams could get no higher
I heard a voice above the rest, screaming You`re a liar!


But it`s alright, Lady Eleanor,
Alright, Lady Eleanor,
G A [E(bar7) Bm] <- ???
I`m alright here in your arms....




I suspect those last chords are something entirely different, but can`t
remember much except they _are_ simple chords.
If anyone can supply the missing words or correct any others I have wrong,
PLEASE Email me. It`s an old favourite, and I`d like to get it right!
If memory serves me, Alan Hull wrote it.
p.s. I love the mandolin work, too, but the tab for that would be a bit
beyond me...
