Dun Ringill

Clear light on a slick palm
   as I misdeal the day
Slip the night from a shaved pack
   make a marked card play
Call twilight hours down
   from a heaven home
   high above the highest bidder
   for the good Lord's throne.

In the wee hours I'll meet you
   down by Dun Ringill -
   watch the old gods play
   by Dun Ringill

We'll wait in stone circles
   'til the force comes through -
   lines join in faint discord
   and the Stormwatch brews
   a concert of Kings
   as the white sea snaps
   at the heels of a soft prayer
   whispered

In the wee hours I'll meet you
   down by Dun Ringill - 
   take you quickly
   by Dun Ringill.




Capo on third Fret.

All the picked notes are triplets, in the space of one measure of the 4/4
time signature. In the main repeating sequence, the pair of strummed chords are played as a triplet with the first two notes tied (effectively "swung" 
quavers).

Main repeating sequence:
Play A minor chord. Use your little finger to finger these notes in turn:
5th string, open
6th string, 3rd fret
6th string, 2nd fret

In the first 3 triplets, pick the sequence of strings: (5/6), 3, 2
After the third triplet, strum the A minor chord, removing the first finger
from the 2nd string on the second strum.

Then finger D Major, and pick strings: 5, 3, 2  (as above)
Then strum the D Major chord, this time removing the finger off the 1st
string the second time.

       x__x__o__ __ __
  1    |__|__|__|__|__|
  2    |__|__|__*__|__* <-----Remove this finger
  3    |__|__|__|__*__|

 Then this shape is fingered:

       x__ __o__o__ __
  1    |__|__|__|__|__|
  2    |__|__|__|__|__|
  3    |__*__|__|__*__|

Pick strings 5, 4, 3.
Strum the top 4 strings, perhaps removing the finger off the 2nd string on
the second time.


The chorus goes like:
                               _____________Play for only 1 downstroke
                               |     |
                               v     v
        C              D      Gm6 D Gm6 D

                    Gm6
	        x__x__o__o__ __o
	   1    |__|__|__|__|__|
	   2    |__|__|__|__|__| 
	   3    |__|__|__|__*__|







The final sequence is like this:


	      

	        x__ __o__o__ __o
	   1    |__|__|__|__|__|
	   2    |__|__|__|__|__|   Pick 5,4,3,2,  strum top 4 strings twice
	   3    |__*__|__|__*__|
	 
	        x__ __o__o__ __o
	   1    |__|__|__|__|__|
	   2    |__*__|__|__|__|   Pick 5,4,3,2,  strum top 4 strings twice
	   3    |__|__|__|__*__|
	 
	        x__ __o__o__ __o
	   1    |__*__|__|__|__|
	   2    |__|__|__|__|__|   Pick 5,4,3,2,1,2,3
	   3    |__|__|__|__*__|


The final chord is an A minor shape displaced up the fretboard by five frets - 
this is <NOT> a barre chord, however. It is a kind of Dm7 chord. I am
not entirely sure.

Hello!
This is version of JT "Dun Ringill" from ftp.nevada.edu corrected on my mind.
I take original track from Jethro Tull "Stormwatch" album.
I think that it's about right.

And the heels of a soft prayer
