Does anybody have the correct chords to the old Tex Ritter song "High Noon"? I found only some very simplified and some wrong versions on the web.
Thanks in advance!
Kind Regards, Walter

Walter, Thanks again for the Lloyd Green clips. Here is a chart on "High Noon" from the album "Choice Country Cuts: Tex Ritter." I will insert some lyrics as guideposts:
"High Noon" 4/4 1/4=70 Bb
Do not forsake me...
1 1 1 (4 2m)
(2m 5) (1 6m) 3 5
O' the noon day train...
1 1 1 (4 6)
(2m 4dim) 1 (4 1) (4 1)
(4 4) (1 1 2m 5) 1
O' to be torn 'twixt...
4 1 4 1
4 1 #5 (1 6 2m 2m) 5
Do not forsake me...
1 1 1 (4 6)
(2m 4dim) 1 (4 1) (4 1)
(4 4 ) (1 1 2m 5) 1
Wait along...
4 1 4 1 1 1 (final 1 chord is a diamond) |

Walter, just curious, but the way your question is phrased, one would assume that you don't know the correct chords, therefore, how would you know that the versions you found on the web were simplified or wrong? |

All I know is the 4 chord at "I'm not afraid of death but Oh..." is a IVm.
What's a diamond chord?

Thanks for the info!
Barry, it is simple - I just tried to play the chords I got from several websites, that didn't get me anywhere! The song has some minors and some nice passing chords, none of those are found on these websites... 
Kind Regards, Walter

| Gotcha, Walter. My apologies if I came across as a wiseguy - it wasn't intentional. |

Barry,
Not at all! After re-reading my initial post I asked myself the same question.... 
Kind Regards, Walter

'Diamond' usually refers to the diamond-shaped icon that signifies that a note or a chord is held for a whole measure. It doesn't refer to a specific note or chord, but to 'time'.

Charlie McDonald,
Thanks for the heads up! That is a 4m chord when Ritter sings "I'm not afraid of death but Oh..." So in order to correct the chart, look under the lyric "O, to be torn 'twixt..." and change the #5 chord to a 4m. |
