Tim Hart (9 January 1948 – 24 December 2009) was an English folk singer and multi-instrumentalist, best known as a founding member of electric folk band, Steeleye Span.
Early years
Tim Hart was born in Lincoln. His father, Rev. Canon Dennis Hart, was the vicar of St Saviour's in St Albans. Hart began his life as a musician performing with the Rattfinks, St Albans School's second band, the first being The Zombies. In 1966, he began performing with the Blackpool-born Maddy Prior, touring English folk clubs. In 1968 and 1969 the duo recorded two albums: Folk Songs of Olde England, (Volumes One and Two).
Steeleye Span
From 1970 to 1982, Hart and Prior were the backbone of Steeleye Span. Hart's contribution to the band demonstrated his musical abilities on a wide range of instruments, some electric, including: acoustic guitars, dulcimer, organ, 5 string banjo, mandolin, bells, tabor and spoons as well as vocals.
In 1971, as well as recording two albums as part of Steeleye Span, they recorded Summer Solstice – a much more professional recording than their first two albums, including a string arrangement by Robert Kirby, better known for his work with Nick Drake. Almost every song that Hart sang was traditional. Steeleye Span's commercial success peaked in 1975. They toured in the United States and Australia and used electric instruments more frequently. However, further hits eluded them. They announced that their 1978 tour of the United Kingdom would be their farewell, although they reformed and continue recording and performing live to this day.
Tim Hart & Maddy Prior, Steeleye Span, “I Live Not Where I Love” Tutorial
This is a note-for-note recreation of Tim Hart’s beautiful guitar part for “I Live Not Where I Love” that he performed with Maddy Prior; and later, on tour with Steeleye Span. Guitar players have been wanting to see how this was played since 1972.
I hope you have fun with it..!!
As a follow up I may post a recreation of both guitar parts for “Dancing At Whitsun”...if there is an interest.

Steeleye Span: I Live Not Where I Love
This an amazingly lovely song performed live in 1982 at the Royal Opera Theatre, Adelaide, Australia.
Maddy Prior has a lovely contralto voice and this song, quite literally, takes my breath away.
Long live Steeleye Span!
Come all you maids that live at a distance,
Many miles from off your swain,
Come and assist me this very moment
For to pass away some time.
Singing sweetly and completely
Songs of pleasure and of love,
For my heart is with him altogether,
Though I live not where I love.
When I sleep I dream about you
When I wake I take no rest,
For every instant thinking on you,
My heart e'er fixed in your breast
And although far distance may be assistance
From my mind his love to remove
But my heart is with him altogether
Though I live not where I love
All the world shall be one relig...

For my heart is with him altogether,
Though I live not where I love.
When I sleep I dream about you
When I wake I take no rest,
For every instant thinking on you,
My heart e'er fixed in your breast
And although far distance may be assistance
From my mind his love to remove
But my heart is with him altogether
Though I live not where I love
All the world shall be one religion
All living things shall cease to die
Before I prove false unto my jewel
Or any way my love deny.
The world shall change and be most strange
If ever I my mind remove
My heart is with him altogether
Though I live not where I love.
So farewell lads and farewell lasses
Now I think I've got my choice
I will away to yonder mountains
Where I think I hear his voice
And if he holloa I will follow
Around the world though 'tus so wide
For young Thomas he did promise
I should be his lawful bride.

Workers in their worn-out coats The girls from Ghent So quiet and content This is what we came here for : A friendly word and a cigarette Cos' it's true what they say The world just turns around We'll be happy again These are the days We can truly find ourselves Nothing fancy Nothing much The facts of life We all come across When your legs have walked enough We can ride the shabby city bus Cos' it's true what they say The world just turns around We'll be happy again These are the moments We just can't live without These are the moments We just can't live without Though it's sad No one's dead just yet (x2) And it's true what they say The world just turns around We'll be happy again These are the days We can truly find ourselves Sunday morning radio The sun outside nowhere to be seen Skinny girls and bony boys Made up the rules When we came living here And it's true what they say The world just turns around We'll be happy again These are the moments We just can't live without These are the moments We just can't live without Though it's sad No one's dead just yet (x16)
