Broadford Bazaar

Ian Anderson

(transcription: Paul Tarvydas, tarvydas@tsctrl.guild.org)



Notes:



- Capo 7th fret

- tablature 0 is 7th fret

- chords w/o parentheses are the "normal" guitar chord positions

  played relative to the capo (i.e. most convenient for guitarists)

- chords inside parentheses are the actual chords

- entirely flatpicked

- most chords are "washboard" strummed (just slowly enough that

  distinct notes are heard)

(Em)        (D)      (Bm)               (A)

 Dirty white caravans down narrow roads, sailing.



 Am          G        Em           D       D Dsus2 D D5 D

(Em)        (D)      (Bm)         (A)

 Vivas, Cortinas, weaving in their wake.



      Am             G               C

     (Em)           (D)             (G)

 With hot, red-faced drivers, horns, flattened fists,

 wailing,

   Putting trust in blind corners as  they overtake.







           G        D

 And it's "All come willing now,



 C       G

 Spend a shilling now,



 G            C            Em        D

 Stack up the back of your new motor-car."



         G         C            G           Em

 There's home-dyed woolens, and wee plaster Cullins.



     C          D         E      Esus4 E

 The day of the Broadford Bazaar.









 Am         G         Em           D        Dsus2 D D5 D

 Out of the north, no oil-rigs are drifting.



     Am           G        Em          D   Dsus2 D D5 D

 And jobs for the many are down to the few.



 Am           G              C        D

 Blue-bottled choppers, they visit no longer.



      G            G/F                C            D

 Like flies to the jampots, they were just passing through.







           G        D

 And it's "All come willing now,



 C       G

 Spend a shilling now,



 G            C            Em        D

 Stack up the back of your new motor-car"



                  G           C

 Where once stood oil-rigs so phallic



              G              Em

 There's only swear-words in Gaelic



    C          D         E      Esus4  E

 To say at the Broadford bazaar.







 Am           G           Em           D       Dsus2 D D5 D

 All kinds of people come down for the opening.



 Am           G              Em       D      Dsus2 D D5 D

 Crofters and cotters, white-settlers galore.



     Am        G                C                D

 And up on the hill, there's an old sheep that's dying,



            G             G/F         C         D

 But it had two new lambs born just a fortnight before.







           G        D

 And it's "All come willing now,



 C       G

 Spend a shilling now,



 G            C            Em        D

 Stack up the back of your new motor-car."



                                 G                C

 They'll take pounds, francs and dollars from the well-heeled,



     G               Em

 And stamps from the Green Shield.



     C          D           E    Esus4 E

 The day of the Broadford Bazaar.
