Anyone know the chords to Iyan (sp?) Tyson's "Red Velvet? Does it modulate to A?

Jim,
Which CD is it on? I'll give it a listen and see what I come up with...

Actually it's not on a CD that I know of. It was recorded back in the 60's and maybe later. I learned it long ago and just now trying to relearn it...

If I find it I'll let ya know

thanks

I just did a google search and found out that Gordon Lightfoot also recorded it. It's in G and then I think it modulates to A but I can't remeber how it goes anymore

Got it! It's on Lightfoot's "Painter Passing Through" cd, which I dug out of the wrong pile... and it was originally on Ian and Sylvia's Early Morning Rain lp, which I shoiuld have but can't find at the moment..

Anyhow, If you start in G (First phrase would go G-A-D-F) then it does modulate at the bridge, where I lose it for a second... but it ends up in C, so most of the bridge goes C-F-G-C. The last verse drops back to G again. I'll give it a listen again tomorrow, and see if I can figure out exactly how it modulates from the G section to the C section. It's a different change somehow...

Hope this helps.
