Annie's Song

Can anyone provide me with the whistle tab for “Annie’s Song” by John Denver? I found the tune played on you tube but can’t find the tab. :confused:

I suspect that the tune is still under copyright and if it was provided Dale and the Moderators might be incarcerated for aiding and abetting…

However, to get you started, d|d c# B|d3| c#3| z z BB B c# d| A F2-F3

See if you can pick it out from there. It’s a good exercise in ear training.

Best wishes.

Thanks Steve :slight_smile:

Here is a link to Annie’s Song at wikifoni.org http://wikifonia.org/node/619#/C/0/1
This is the lead notes and the guitar chords. Wikifonia has also kinds of lead sheets of all types of music. There is also a transpose button to get it in the key your prefer. I registered a long time ago and I don’t get any junk mail from them.

Oh, and it’s free.

Hooray!! I finally figured out the tab for the entire tune :party: :party:

Gee, I wonder if you’re going to tell us why this was the song in your brain that needed worked out. Every now & then, I get a song like that too.

I heard the song played on utube and thought it really sounded good on whistle. I kept hearing it in my head over and over. Just had to figure out how to play it!

Thanks much for the Wikifonia link, the Freeman Bb whistles will get a workout today. Clyde McCoy’s Sugar Blues and Ray Price’s For The Good Times. And, the Delmore Brothers Blues Stay Away From Me.

Anybody got a Burke aluminum Bb they want to get rid of? Whistling Pops brass Bb was a little too heavy for me.

If you want the Bondage version of the words, “Annie’s Thong”, PM me. :smiley:

Now, if we play ‘Annies Song’ without the words, should it be renamed ‘Annies Tune’?

:poke:

That’s great. It’s a good exercise to try to work out tunes like this by ear. Annie’s Song/Tune is pretty simple as compared to a jig or reel at speed but learning by ear is a very useful skill and this is a good way to start. And the best part is that all the notes you don’t get exactly as in the original can be chalked up to “the folk process”.

Best wishes.

Been through this argument about Grandfather’s Tune/Song… :really:

Before my time. Sorry.

I thought that was Elmer’s Tune :poke:

Makes a good set with the Athole Highlanderth.

therapy… you people need therapy! :poke:

My therapist says it’s going to cost a lot more if she has to wear the leather gear. :smiley:
