Hi Christy. This just came up on my feed. Nice one pal, it is to this day still my favourite song and I love singing it and hearing it been sung. Lovely all round job on it by the way. And I used to have a Fylde and I regret ever selling it on but I know it went to a great guy called Eric in Germany who is also a great player. Slainte pal. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@ChrisMurphy1977]

Wow, thanks for the nod. You do such a brilliant job of this song. My daughter Lauren have listened to your version countless times..she loves how she can visualize the story in her head (she’s 6). Cheers, Chris

[@dkod19]

LOL It popped into my recommendations today too. I'm glad it did. Nicely done. I'll be checking out the rest of your channel, Chris. Keep it going.

[@rogerobyrne5308]

So cool that daoiri acknowledges this song. What a cool guy 😎

[@joefrancis759]

I scroll down to read comments while thinking: gosh this chris fella is probably the best I've heard this song since daoiri...and who is commenting but himself. Nice job chris!

[@rezaahmed7709]

@@joefrancis759 I had the same thought! Definitely the best performance of the song I've heard in addition to Daoiri Farrel's...

[@adamruzzo]

Just plain deadly. great song, great job!!

[@akkzent]

Bravo

[@TheMopangbend]

Wonderful, the lyrics can teach us a lot ...... none of which have to do with hunting hare :-)

[@Fortyball]

Nice one man, thanks for that one.

[@lima621]

Nice version 😀😀 This song was the reason why I started playing Irish Bouzouki. I saw Daori Farrell`s version here on YT and was hooked. My version is closer to yours than Daori`s - my fingers aint fast enough for the riffs and runs that he does. 🙂

[@big_dave_7178]

Nicely done

[@robf7537]

This is excellent. You have a very warm and rich singing voice. Very pleasant.

[@poacherjack2741]

Good version mush a difficult song to remember let alone sing and play!

[@tonymurphy6670]

Excellent playing and singing Daoiri Farrell sings a beautiful version too thank you

[@michaelshmykel6063]

[@jimmyodonnell6772]

Hey Chris, Lovely version. I bought a bouzouki a while back but haven’t gotten round to learning anything yet. This has inspired me. So thank you. Jimmy

[@dainforsythe7129]

Well done, Chris! Thanks for posting.

[@tonyschram1260]

Nice cover, well done 👍✌️

[@doodeen]

[@d.e.kocher814]

very respectable effort my friend! A pleasure to the ear! What brand bouzouki is that?

[@ChrisMurphy1977]

It’s a Fylde Irish Bouzouki..Octavius short scale arch top model. Cheers, Chris

[@liamhughes663]

WOW This is amazing...

[@jacobread9650]

awesome job!

[@falveyscabsglenbeigh]

Great job 👏

[@henryhallward]

sweet gig, thank you!

[@cygneturesounds]

Awesome cover! How did you learn the song? I'm relatively new to bouzouki so I'm looking for a tutorial to push a bit more complex playing. I'm currently just a chord strummer, not many melody runs.

[@matthewgreene1585]

What tuning are you in? Standard? Would much appreciate an answer to this!

[@ChrisMurphy1977]

It’s a fairly traditional tuning for Irish Bouzouki: GDAD. Cheers, Chris

[@matthewgreene1585]

Thks Chris

[@GEOHHADDAD]

I never thought anyone could really pull this one off as well (or even close to) Daoiri….but you did. Loved it.

[@ceciliaapellidoapellido5125]

Hi from the South of Spain 😊 I've spent the last hour listening to this song and its different covers. I love, love your voice

[@CharlieSpahr]

So great Chris! Pleasure to see and hear you! Warm regards from Germany Charlie

[@douglasshaw5481]

Strong vocals and eerily close to the original. Well done

[@craigwerth868]

what a champion player and singer! (AND a gracious and kind human being) Glad to have found your presence here, Chris. I plan to visit often.

[@ChrisMurphy1977]

I’ll return those compliments right back to you, sir, and I’ll add “master of the pizza making”! I can’t wait to share a stage with you again!

[@wompton]

F in A Chris. Love it! Great work

[@samsve]

oh man! good job!

[@stevendenny7260]

Brilliant.

[@Mikrohde]

Nice one... Love the t-shirt :-)

[@timmurphy5321]

Smashing!

[@ehmaho]

Very nice

[@spennamac]

Hey Chris, lovely job mate Would you mind posting the intro Chord progression please Im usually D D/C# BM G - D D/C# Bm A What do you do after this please? Cheers Spence UK/IRL

[@ChrisMurphy1977]

Hi Spence, thanks for your interest. The way I play it, the second half is Bm D - G D Bm G.

[@spennamac]

@@ChrisMurphy1977 Hey Chris Thanks for replying mate. Ok so the chord progression for the rest of the song I have the same. Keep up the good work 👍

[@kavikv.d.hexenholtz3474]

Any chance of getting the chords you play? The tab of even one verse would help with he chords shown as 'xxxx' (e.g. 0020 = G). Brilliant version - trying to learn it on bouzouki. Thanks.

[@ChrisMurphy1977]

Thanks for the interest..here’s more or less how I play it: The first half of the verse is just a bass line walk down from the D to the G chord in the first line, and to the A in the second line (0007, 0006, 0004, 0002, 0020..0007, 0006, 0004, 0022). Second half starts on a Bm7 to a D (0044 to 0002), then G D Bm G for the last line. Hope that helps.

[@kavikv.d.hexenholtz3474]

@@ChrisMurphy1977 Thanks *very* much for the quick response and for sharing how you play this tune. Much appreciated!

[@wilsondavies4663]

Lovely Chris just wondering how you are tuned for this song 👍

[@ChrisMurphy1977]

I’ve got my Irish Bouzouki tuned GDAD, capo at the 4th fret. Cheers, Chris

[@wilsondavies4663]

thanks Chris , take care

[@MGWAIKIDOJITSU]

@@ChrisMurphy1977 can you tell me the chords please and the way yo7 play them on the frets please

[@MGWAIKIDOJITSU]

@@ChrisMurphy1977 that’s ok I have found all the chords / tab etc from a fellow Canadian in Calgary Brent ……

[@robfontall5364]

Not so good, kindve mediocre....left out all the nice runs diaori put in...sloppy playing....singing sucks.....other than that good try on a great song!

[@imaballadeer]

What are you on about ? This is brilliant. Good strong voice. Playing spot on.

[@Artturi7]

If you were even half of a musician you would understand the effort that went into just learning the song. Let alone doing such an amazing and emotional job with this. Of all the shit comments I’ve seen on KZbin over the years this one takes the cake. And if you are just a troll well done hahaha!

[@MGWAIKIDOJITSU]

@@Artturi7 well said 👌👌
