Subject: RE: Chord Req: The Riddle Song: Peri Meri Dixi Domini From: Alec Date: 18 Feb 07 - 02:40 AM I had forgotten all about this one until I saw your Thread,Muttley. I vividly remember doing it from "Singing Together" circa 1972.Some U.K. 'Catters may still have the songbook for that one. |

Subject: RE: Chord Req: The Riddle Song: Peri Meri Dixi Domini From: Muttley Date: 20 Feb 07 - 01:21 AM Captain Ginger: Here are the words as I learned them. I'll PM this to you as well THE RIDDLE SONG "I had four brothers, across the sea, Peri Meri Dixi Domini, And each they sent present to me, Peri Meri Dixi Domini, Petrum, partrum, paradisi tempore, Peri Meri Dixi Domini. The first sent a cherry which had no stone, Peri Meri Dixi Domini, The second sent a chicken which had no bone, Peri Meri Dixi Domini, Petrum, partrum, paradisi tempore, Peri Meri Dixi Domini, The third sent a blanket which had no thread, Peri Meri Dixi Domini, The fourth sent a book which no man had read Peri Meri Dixi Domini, Petrum, partrum, paradisi tempore, Peri Meri Dixi Domini. How can there be a cherry which has no stone? Peri Meri Dixi Domini, How can there be a chicken which has no bones? Peri Meri Dixi Domini, Petrum, partrum, paradisi tempore, Peri Meri Dixi Domini, How can there be a blanket without any thread? Peri Meri Dixi Domini, How can there be a book which no man has read? Peri Meri Dixi Domini, Petrum, partrum, paradisi tempore, Peri Meri Dixi Domini. The cherry when it's blooming, it has no stone, Peri Meri Dixi Domini, The chicken in the egg it has no bones Peri Meri Dixi Domini, Petrum, partrum, paradisi tempore, Peri Meri Dixi Domini, The blanket on the sheep's back it has no thread Peri Meri Dixi Domini, The book, in the press, no man has read Peri Meri Dixi Domini, Petrum, partrum, paradisi tempore, Peri Meri Dixi Domini. Now, does anyone have the chords??? Muttley |

Subject: RE: Chord Req: The Riddle Song: Peri Meri Dixi Domini From: GUEST,Pondweed Date: 19 Jun 11 - 09:35 AM did anyone ever find the chords for this? I notice on the version I listened to that the chords go up (or down) a tone each verse... Would be nice to find some! |

Subject: RE: Chord Req: The Riddle Song: Peri Meri Dixi Domini From: Bonnie Shaljean Date: 19 Jun 11 - 10:03 AM THIS VERSION is sung beautifully by the 3-part a capella harmony group White Raven (if you run a trad club and they ever approach you, BOOK THEM!!!) but this clickie gives only the words. However, the chords are just the basic I-IV-V sort of progression (if you're in the key of C, that would be C-F-G). Different melody HERE and ALSO HERE but again, no chords. Don't know how helpful these are, because the White Raven version (the only one I know) has a different melody. a simple but lovely one. Anyway, try Googling Peri Meri DICTUM domini/domine with assorted spellings. It must be out there somewhere - |
