A jaunty folk song
beauty nature
Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!
Martin Stirrup Singer/songwriter An old folkie who got back into it... These days I sing and play guitar(s) and other stringed instruments, then score and orchestrate where appropriate. My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Story behind the song
Murlough Bay is an unspoilt cove on the NE tip of Ireland - just 12 miles from The Mull of Kintyre in Scotland.
Lyrics
Intro D sus 4 (drop) 100bpm 2m42 G DA BmD GD EmGA BmA GBm AA7 (1st time)A half bar Bm A GBm DA A7(2nd time) There's a turquoise sea and a beach of white sand You could think you were in Majorca But you'd be deceived as you would understand If you dipped your toe in the water But the scenery's so beautiful it’s bound to take your breath away As you gaze out over to the mull of kintyre cross the bay When the sun beats down from an azure sky Then you might well feel transported But that’ll change to a frown when the clouds roll by For rain’s more often reported But there's always plenty to enjoy there either way As you gaze out over to the mull of kintyre cross the bay GA BmGD A GA BmA A6A7 A7 A6 A D sus4 drop as intro In Murlough Bay See the world in all its glory In Murlough Bay Has it all to make you stay In Murlough Bay And take some time out from your life's story Watch things change from day to day But the magic still remains In Murlough Bay Does your body stir to the screech of gulls Are you fired up for action Or does your breathing purr as your thoughts are lulled By this natural rarefaction Any way you choose to spend your precious holiday Just gaze out over to the mull of kintyre cross the bay ?
