Apple Scrumpy(pumpy)
The 15 gallons of Old Grumble Belly are bubbling away happily in the cider shed after this years mammoth cider making day - we could have made 150 gallons but there's just not enough hours in the day.
We've also been getting a bit fruity with the tunes lately (see previous posts) and Carl feels we should have a cider song for the set (but not that one!), so here goes... Apple Scrumpy
Verse
G Sit beneath this apple tree C with me sweet Ida Red,
G Sit beneath this apple tree with D7 me sweet Lilibet,
G Sit beneath this apple tree and C drink some apple crush,
G Irish Peach, D7 my sweet Maiden's G Blush.
Chorus
D Lets make apple scrumpy, G lets make love tonight,
D lets make apple scrumpy, G till the morning light
D Lets make apple scrumpy, G right here on the ground,
D Take a swig, feels alright, take you time, it'll last all night.

Murder Ballad
Murder Ballad - key of F
Intro F,Bb,F,C,F,Bb,C,Bb,F
C F
Lying in a shady grove staring at the sun,
C F
Lyin in a shady grove with my true chosen one,
C F
Lyin in my true loves arms, sleep my dear she said,
Bb C Bb F
Sleep tonight and dream the dreams of the dead
Lyin in my lovers arms I long to kiss her lips,
Lyin in my lovers arms her knife between my ribs,
Lyin in a shady grove staring at the night,
Sleep she said and feel the kiss that bites
Lyin in a shady grove my face turned form the sun,
Buried in a shallow grave for all the things I've done,
lyin in a shady grove I see her lips so red,
I'll sleep tonight, I'll sleep the sleep of the dead.

Alice Charmers at Doc Browns
The Alice Charmers play Doc Brown's in Middlesbrough tonight.
It's the first time we've played with a full band and hopefully it'll go better than the first time which due to technical muppetry was a bit shambolic.
Fingers crossed!
