Celtic New Year by Van Morrison
Celtic New Year
You could use a capo for this song, I think he does, but I don't own
and it's
pretty easy without. The first chord is D#, played open like this:
E|-3-| ...in four successive semi-quavers, then a one-beat rest.
B|-4-| It's the same rhythm for all the chords, just listen to the song,
G|-3-| real easy.
D|-5-|
A|-6-|
E|---|
Second chord, you add the 2nd (or the 9th, it doesn't really matter, they're the same),
you have
a shape like this:
E|---| Non capo users: I recommend barre-ing with your index finger
B|-5-| (obviously), holding the low D# on the A string with your ring
G|-3-| finger, Pinkie on the 9th (B string), and middle finger on the G
D|-5-| (D string).
A|-6-|
E|---|
After that it's a G# barre chord, and an A# barre chord, which I prefer to play like this:
E|---| ...simply laying your ring finger across the third fret, 'coz that
B|-3-| way it's easier to get back to the D# chord.
G|-3-|
D|-3-|
A|-1-|
E|---|
