Mull Of Kintyre by Paul Mccartney 




               Mull Of Kintyre 





[Refrain]

 D                  G                        D
Mull of Kintyre,oh mist rolling in from the sea
             G                       A7         D
my desire is always to be here , oh Mull of Kintyre.


[Chorus]

 D                                    D7
Far have I travelled and much have I seen
  G                          D
dark distant mountains with valleys of green.
                                      D7
Past painted deserts the sun sets on fire
       G                      A7         D
as he carries me home to the Mull of Kintyre.


[Refrain]

 D                  G                        D
Mull of Kintyre,oh mist rolling in from the sea
             G                       A7         D
my desire is always to be here , oh Mull of Kintyre.


[Chorus]

 D                                          D7
Sweep trought the heather like deer in the glen
 G                     D
carry me back to the days I knew then.
                                      D7
Nights when we sang like a heavenly choir
        G                         A7         D
of the life and the times of the Mull of Kintyre.


[Refrain]

 D                  G                        D
Mull of Kintyre,oh mist rolling in from the sea
             G                       A7         D
my desire is always to be here , oh Mull of Kintyre.


[Chorus]

  D                                      D7  
Smiles in the sunshine and tears in the rain
  G                            D               
still takes me back where my  mem´ries remain.
                                D7
Flickering embers go higher and higher 
         G                    A7         D
as they carry me back to the Mull of Kintyre.


[Refrain]

 D                  G                        D
Mull of Kintyre,oh mist rolling in from the sea
             G                       A7         D
my desire is always to be here , oh Mull of Kintyre.

version 3








CAPO IS USUALLY ON 2nd FRET BUT I PLAY ON 4th. IT DEPENDS ON YOUR VOICE. YOU CAN 
EASILY PLAY WITHOUT A CAPO!!! 

 You need to know 2 chords, and for an extra twist you can add a third one. You 
need D and G and the optional A chord.

This song is so straight forward! You can play it anyway you like but if you would 
like the right technique, which is what Paul himself played/plays, then here you go

IMPORTANT INFO ON STRUMMINGPATTERN RIGHT HERE:::::

You pick the bass string and then you do 2 downstrums. For those of you who are 
new to playing, as i was back when i learned this song, the bass string is the 
first string in the chord. Example: Bass string of a G Chord is the big E (number 
one from the top) while a D chord has the D string (3rd from the top, fourth from 
the bottom) as its Bass string. 

Just pick that and then you downstrum twice. Really simple. 

Here we go. i will put the chords on the first and second verses and choruses and 
then you are on your own for the simple reason that the third and final verse is 
exactly like the first verse. Good luck and have fun playing this ol' beauty!







Intro: D (with the bass string picking i mentioned, as it is in the rest of the 
song.. No regular strumming here! :D )

D
Mull of kintyre 
   G                       D
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
             G 
My desire is always to be here
   D
Oh mull of kintyre 

D
Far have I traveled and much have I seen 
G                           D
Dark distant mountains with valleys of green. 
D
Past painted deserts the sunsets on fire 
      G
As he carries me home to the mull of kintyre. 

D
Mull of kintyre 
   G                       D
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
             G 
My desire is always to be here
   D
Oh mull of kintyre 

D
Sweep through the heather like deer in the glen 
G                    D
Carry me back to the days I knew then. 

D                             Pick the bass note of D here and let it ring
                           // as you keep on singing!
Nights when we sang like a heavenly choir 
       G                       A (same as the others)
                                        D
Of the life and the time of the mull of kintyre. 

D
Mull of kintyre 
   G                       D
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
             G 
My desire is always to be here
   D
Oh mull of kintyre 

Smiles in the sunshine 
And tears in the rain 
Still take me back to where my memories remain 
Flickering embers growing higher and higher 
As they carry me back to the mull of kintyre 

Mull of kintyre 
Oh mist rolling in from the sea, 
My desire is always to be here 
Oh mull of kintyre 

Mull of kintyre 
Oh mist rolling in from the sea, 
My desire is always to be here 
Oh mull of Kintyre

Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre
Far have i traveled and much have i seen
Dark distant mountains with valleys of green.
Past painted deserts the sunset's on fire
As he carries me home to the mull of kintyre.

Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre

Sweep through the heather like deer in the glen
Carry me back to the days i knew then.
Nights when we sang like a heavenly choir
Of the life and the time of the mull of kintyre.

Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre

Smiles in the sunshine
And tears in the rain
Still take me back to where my memories remain
Flickering embers growing higher and higher
As they carry me back to the mull of kintyre

Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre

Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre

Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre
Far have i traveled and much have i seen
Dark distant mountains with valleys of green.
Past painted deserts the sunset's on fire
As he carries me home to the mull of kintyre.

Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre

Sweep through the heather like deer in the glen
Carry me back to the days i knew then.
Nights when we sang like a heavenly choir
Of the life and the time of the mull of kintyre.

Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre

Smiles in the sunshine
And tears in the rain
Still take me back to where my memories remain
Flickering embers growing higher and higher
As they carry me back to the mull of kintyre

Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre

Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre

And here are the chords. The song is in three=time, with three downstrokes
during the chorus, and one downstroke followed by two upstrokes in the
verses. Have a listen to the song to get an idea of the exact timing:

Chorus

G                  C                        G
Mull of Kintyre, O mist rolling in from the sea

             C                    G
My desire is always to be here, O Mull of Kintyre


Verse

1.
G
Far have I travelled, and much have I seen

C                            G
Dark distant mountains, with valleys of green


Past painted deserts, the sunsets on fire

      C                      D          G
As he carries me home to the Mull of Kintyre


The same pattern applies throughout the rest of the verses:

2.
Smiles in the sunshine and tears in the rain
Carry me back where my mem'ries remain
Flickering embers grow higher and higher
as they carry me back to the Mull of Kintyre

3.
Sweep through the heather like deer in the glen
Carry me back to the days I knew then
Nights when we sang like a heavenly choir
Of the life and the times of the Mull of Kintyre

The Whole song is played on this basis, before every chord a base note is played. So for 
the next part (D) you would play...

e|-----2---2-------2---2-----------------------------------------------------|
B|-----3---3-------3---3-----------------------------------------------------|
G|-----2---2-------2---2-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-0---0---0---0---0---0-----------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
       ^   ^       ^   ^
The key is to listen as to how many times the chord is played, at the start
there are 4 A chords played to start then the singing begins -
then two A chords then 2 D's and so on.

 A                  D                        A
Mull of Kintyre,oh mist rolling in from the sea
