* notes and notations *
1 . this is a very straightforward song , though the recording insinuates much more than
what is going on in the guitar part . the progressive and very powerful melody is actually
handled by a combination of piano , five string open back banjo , cello , and the highland
bagpipes . that being said , i tabbed out the melody line in chord fashion for a bit of
extra challenge . in honesty , the entirety of the verses are played with deviations on A
D chord , but thats not exactly fun nor intriguing tablature , now is it?
2 . due to the nature of uploading for these tabs , and i’m not sure if it will come
through , any time you see a weird series of code , that is where an apostrophe was
supposed to be .
3 . coincidence aside , yes , the three big songs from brave are all in D major with
similar time signatures and chord patterns . D major is incredibly common in gaeilge ( irish )
and gaidhlig ( scottish ) music . as for the key signatures , its mere coincidence .
4 . once more , feel free to request tabs for any folk music you happen to come across .
just dont ask me to tab out rocki dont do the electric instruments .
5 . seilbheich; meal dibhearsain . ( have fun )
