https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74PcElYZ7QY

Can anyone tell me what the guitar chords would be for this version?

Re: Guitar Chords for Bonsoir Moreau Canray Fontenot

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL :blush:

I hear three chords and search for it with the banjo.
Guess that's the same for guitar ;-)
The chords are G, G and Em.
I guess that the accordion is a C key of G.
I hope the experts also give there opinion :-)

Bonsoir Moreau

G C
Oh bonsoir Moreau, ô bonsoir Moreau (c above bonsoir)
G
O j’connais c’est l’heure je m’en v’as (G above connais)
Em G Em
Oh bonsoir Moreau, bonsoir Moreau (Em above Moreau,G above Bonsoir, Em above reau)

G C
On a eu ici un bon temps (C above eu)

Un bon temps toute la nuit
G
O j’connais c’est l’heure je m’en v’as
Em G Em
Oh bonsoir Moreau, bonsoir Moreau

G C
O la lune est après s’coucher (c above lune)

Et le soleil est après s’lever
G
Et caillette est pas tirée (G above caillette)
Em G Em
Oh bonsoir Moreau, bonsoir Moreau


When I post it the chords jumps to the begin :confused:
Made some remarks.
I hope this is it,

Actually, there are 4 chords.

There are two sections of the chord progression, which repeat.

One part is G Em, the other part is C Am

Thanks David, I'm not good in minor-chords :wink:

Re: Guitar Chords for Bonsoir Moreau Canray Fontenot

I've been a bass player and guitar player since high school, both of which require paying a great deal of attention to chord progressions. I have a great deal of experience in that area.

On bass and guitar, you need to be constantly aware where you are in the chord progression and where you're going next. But when I play accordion, it's totally different. I have to have some awareness of it in order to direct the band properly, especially when learning a new song. But sometimes I find that it's a lot easier to communicate with them in their own language if I pick up the guitar and figure out the chords myself rather than have them figure it out on their own.
