I don't think a recording exists. It is devestatingly simple, yet quite catchy, operating with an acoustic guitar and (preferably) a Tibetan backbeat. Arse McShannon & his Himalayan Band - Reet Snowy Peaks Introduction : This is a strummed open D7 chord with the picking : e---------0--2----0--2wwwwww---| B-------3------3---------------| G------------------------------| Over which is sung, "Oh there be" Verse : GReet (320003@1)snowy peaks CReet (x32010@1)snowy peaks NB The D's are played and then D (xx0232@1) slid up an octave up the neck Reet snowy peaks DReet (xx0232@1)snowy peaks DReet (xx0232@1)snowy peaks let's go once more Repeat verse Instrumental : Same chords only E-shaped barres, with riffing to the sus4 shape towards the end of this line - if you've heard it you'll know what I mean. Last verse : same as first with last line : "Reet snowy peaks, lets end it there." Then play the G/Gsus4 riff on the 3rd fret barre chord in a similar manner to on George Michael's "Faith" Indeed, by transposing the chord up to B (7th fret) when you've finished, you can link straight into it.
