about

The special assignment here was to create a guitar chord from the randomly selected chords – using the rootnotes- and playing it throughout. So that’s one chord you hear over and over. There are some changes on the bass that keep it going and I think my second guitar part does a little off-chord stuff. If I did it right I think it’s D, F, A, C#, E. Hannah saved me on this one. I was really happy with the instrumental version but struggled (as usual) with the vocal. Hannah was able to do what I was trying to do and I will admit that I copied her ghost vocal on a couple parts that she only sang as roughs. The subject matter from Wikipedia’s random article feature was: Chubut Rawson, an area of Argentina near a river that was part of an area settled largely by the Welsh in the 19th century. As a USAmerican I find it fascinating, we learn so little in school about South America and about cultures merging other than our own. We are so USAmerocentric.

lyrics

Go on Go on go there Come with me argentine A groovy beach within your reach You’re gettin’ your wish and catchin’ some fish What were the Welsh doin’ here so long ago I don’t know They came here to open up Patagonia There’s no good water But we’re making it work Go down to the river Sift thru a little dirt You Go south enough it turns into north Start doin’ some work find out what you’re worth Why didn’t we come here long ago I’ll never know We came here to open up in Patagonia Over the land over the sea To Patagonia you’re coming with me Over the land over the sea To Patagonia We’re never gonna leave We made a new life an it’s treatin’ us nice Don’t even ask cuz we’re never comin’ back Ask yourself “what am I doin here?” Was your answer “I don’t’ know”? Come with us and open up in Patagonia
