Queen Of Argyll by Silly Wizard
Queen Of Argyll
Capo wherever you need for your voice...
Am Em
Gentlemen it is me duty
Am Em
To inform you of one beauty
Am Em
Though I'd ask of you a favor
C G Em
Not to seek her for a while
Am Em
Though I own she is a creature
Am Em
Of character and feature
Am Em
No words can paint the picture
C G Am
Of the queen of all Argyll
Chorus:
Am Em
And if you could have seen her there
Am Em (G)
Boys, if you had just been there
Am Em
The swan was in her movements
C G Em
And the marvel in her smile
Am Em
All the roses in the garden
Am Em
They bow and ask her pardon
Am Em
For not one could match the beauty
C G Am
Of the Queen of all Argyll
On the evening that I mentioned
I passed with light intention
Through a part of our dear country
Known for beauty and for style
In the place of noble thinkers
Of scholars and great drinkers
But above them all for splendor
Shone the Queen of all Argyll
Chorus...
So my lads I needs must leave you
My intentions no' to grieve you
Nor indeed would I deceive you
Oh I'll see you in a while
I must find some way to gain her
To court her and to tame her
I fear my heart's in danger
From the Queen of all Argyll
Chorus (twice)

Celtic music is TOTALLY oriented into massive sessions of hammer/pulls and
slides. Have fun with this technique, and you're sure to pull through some
interesting things. Here are the lyrics, they follow a straight chord
progression. Riff 3 leads into the first verse, with the chord starting the
strumming as indicated. Go for it, you should see smoke on your strings when
you break
Dm C G C Dm C G C
Gentle men it is my duty To inform you of one beauty
Dm C G C G C G
Though I'd ask you of a favor, no to seek her for awhile
Dm C G C Dm C G C
Though I own she is a creature Of character and feature
Dm Bb C Am Dm
No words can paint the picture of the Queen of ole Argyll
CHORUS (Same chord progression)
And if you could have seen her there, boys if you had just been there
This one was in her movement, and the morning in her smile
All the roses in the garden, they bow and ask her pardon
For not one could match the beauty of the queen of ole Argyll
More Verses:
On that evening that I mention, I passed with light intention
Through a part of our dear country known for beauty and for style
Bein' a place of noble thinkers, of scholars and great drinkers
But above them all for splendour shone the Queen of Ole Argyll
CHORUS
Throw in a solo here.
So my lads my needs must leave you, my intention no to grieve you
Nor indeed would I decieve you, oh I'll see you in awhile
I must find some way to gain her, to court her and to tame her
I fear my heart's in danger from the Queen of ole Argyll
CHORUS (do it twice or so)
FINALE -- run through the Riffs..
