Chords for The Butterfly (slip jig)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ This is a slip jig called the butterfly.
_ It's an E minor.
It has an A part, a B part, and a C part.
[Ab] The A [B] parts, each part is only four bars long, so we'll [Ab] repeat each one A, A, B, B, C, C.
_ _ This
slip jig is [Bm] different from other slip jigs.
It's played on the slower side.
It's very ethereal,
almost sounds new-agey.
It's a very, very old tune.
I think it's so old that it's come full
[Ab] circle round and it sounds new.
_ _ A slip jig, of course, is in 9-8 time, [B] not like a normal jig,
which is in 6-8 time.
So you're going to hear [Gb] _ three [Bm] beats.
One and a two and a three and a one
and a [Ab] two and a three and a one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, one, two,
three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
[Eb] _ _
_ What else do I need to tell [B] you?
Nothing.
Let's play
it.
I'll play it slow, then I'll [G] break for a couple seconds, [Gb]
and then I'll kick it into a
little bit [Ab] faster, _ just so you can hear it in context.
Here we go.
_ _ [Bm]
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight, nine.

I most often hear that tune end
by repeating the first bar of A, and then it just ends.
It's very nice.
Okay, have fun with this
_ slip jig.
You don't have to go that fast.
It's got a wide range of acceptable tempos, so just
do what feels nicest to you.
Thanks
