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!
These are chords and lyrics for "Lowly Deserter" by Glen Hansard.
Based on the 2014 live acoustic wideosesja video, posted by Uwolnij Muzyke! as seen on YouTube.
[CHORDS]- The chords of the song are Gm, Cm and Dm.
- If you're not too comfortable with barre, you will want to use CAPO 3 and play
Em, Am and Bm.
- Another option would be to use CAPO 10 (if your guitar allows it) and play
Am, Dm and Em.
(In the video Glen plays a mandolin, which sounds higher, so the CAPO 10 comes closest)
- My personal preference (and the middle road) is: CAPO 5 with Dm, Gm and Am.
[LYRICS]- I just wrote the lyrics as I heard them so there are bound to be some mistakes
in the lyrics.
[NOTES] - The chord progression in the chorus is different than in the verses,
but there's still only 3 chords.
- Glen adds some hammer-ons in his chords. All hammer-ons are in the chord
itself so just hammer around.
- Do yourself a favour and invest in a kazoo for the horn parts.
- Now I'll shut up.

That's it! I hope you enjoyed it and it's of use to somebody.
