Fairport Convention is often credited with being one of the first English folk rock bands. Formed in 1967, Fairport rapidly developed from playing cover versions of American 'west coast' music to an individual style which melded rock music with traditional English folk tunes and songs.
Like their peers The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and Jefferson Airplane they were blessed with several considerable individual talents and produced music that -at least initially- was eclectic, as well as exploratory.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

RISING FOR THE MOON FAIRPORT CONVENTION with SANDY DENNY
INTRO: (SINGLE STRUM) DAEEAAEDDbmBm
VERSE: A I travel over the sea DBm And ride the rolling sky A For that's the way it is, DBmE That is my for-tune
A There are many ears to please, DF#mD Many people's love to try AF#mE And every day's begun A Rising for the moon
VERSE: A There's a heart in every place, DBm There's a tear for each farewell A For that's the way it is, DBmE That is my fortune
A I'll lure you as the lace DF#mD That the wayward gypsies sell AF#mE With the sinking of the sun, A Rising of the moon
CHORUS: DBmD Rising for the moon, A The sun has set and it is dark DF#mBm But the star of the enchanted tune AE Is bright as any spark
A The chorus of the dusk DF#mD Regail the evening lark AE Whose every day does start A Rising for the moon
INSTRUMENTAL: DDAF#mA DDAEE AADF#mDDAAEEAA
VERSE: A We travel over the sea DBm And ride the rolling sky A For that's the way it is, DBmE That is our for-tune
A There are many ears to please, DF#mD many people's love to try AF#mE And every day's begun A Rising for the moon
CHORUS: DBmD Rising for the moon, A The sun has set and it is dark DF#mBm But the star of the enchanted tune AE Is bright as any spark
A The chorus of the dusk DF#mD Regail the evening lark AE Whose every day does start A Rising for the moon
CHORUS: DBmD Rising for the moon, A The sun has set and it is dark DF#mBm But the star of the enchanted tune AE Is bright as any spark
A The chorus of the dusk DF#mD Regail the evening lark AE Whose every day does start AEDA Rising for the moon
