Wild Mountain Thyme

Wild Mountain Thyme, a beautiful Irish tune by William McPeake, is a “must” in any serious repertoire. The melody is flowing and the lyrics are haunting. It is so easy to play that you’ll be enjoying it in a matter of minutes. There are only five simple chords, D, Em, G, F#m, and Bm in Wild Mountain Thyme. To add a little variety to the song, this guitar lesson will show you how to play some of the chords in different positions – but they’re all very easy and you’ll have no trouble at all. Each of the verses in Wild Mountain Thyme is short, making them all easier to play. The chorus to this song is very similar to the chord make up of the verses, so this makes learning the tune even easier.
