| A quote variously attributed to Arthur Bax or Sir Thomas Beecham, "You should make a point of trying every experience once, excepting incest and morris dancing".
If you are still keen, Morris Dancing is carried out to a selection of old English folk tunes. You really cannot go too far wrong playing the 1st of the chord on beat 1 and 5th on beat 3 (2 feel). Throw in a 4 to the bar on the final bar of the phrase to lead you into the next section and it will sound fine.
If you're scratching around for the chords, remember that these are very simple tunes and will usually consist of two sections, each repeated twice, and will mostly just contain the I, IV and V. Sit yourself near the chordal instrument - often an accordian - and you should be able to work it out.
Oh, and for our non English friends, Morris dancing consists of a bunch of big, bearded men wearing black trousers and white shirts. They dance around either waving handkerchiefs or clacking sticks together. They generally sport bells on their ankles which can become extremely annoying at 3am camping at a folk festival. They often have pewter tankards attached to their person and use this to drink copious amounts of English real ale or strong, rough cider - which explains both the dancing and the size of the dancers. There are many variations on an already strange theme!
