lightfoot gordon - canadian railroad trilogy | guitar chord и Mp3 слова песни

From: mfifer@nwu.edu (Matthew Fifer)Canadian Railroad Trilogy, by Gordon Lightfoot (C) 1967, 1969 Warner Brothers.==============================================Transcribed by me, Matthew FiferView this on an 80 character screen, with a monospaced font, in order tohave everything line up properly.The Notes:---------This is the final, checked-for-errors, intro-included version.The song is played with the low E-string(s) tuned down to D and a capo onthe 3rd fret. The song is mostly based in D. This tuning gives the Dchord an especially huge sound. Try to avoid playing the low D on mostchords (except the D). I have put a (X) on the chord charts to remind youof this.Buy, borrow, beg, or steal a 12-string to play this on! This is a *RULE*for this song!!! :-) Lightfoot typically seems to concentrate on the high strings (say the topfour (or 8, if you`ve got a 12-string) for the jangly, percussive rhythmsand hits bass notes on a main beat. For the first three verses (and allthe rest just like them), play the D/C bass chord as a regular D and justhit that C once as a bass note, and then the same goes for the B note inthe G chord. It sounds complicated, but it creates that descending basspattern on the A string. Just play along with the record a couple oftimes. I`m sure you`ll get the idea!Feel that musically-metaphoric train chugging along and marvel at hisbrilliance as he manages to combine the rhythm with the meaning of thesong...All aboard!!!Anyway, follow the recording to get the rhythms. I finally decided to tabthe intro from the Gord`s Gold album, since that is the version mostpeople seem to be most familiar with. Tablature`s major limitation is thelack of convenient way to notate rhythm. The way to count the intro is"one-two-e-and-a..."The Chords: (apologies in advance for any incorrect names)---------- D G D/C bass G6=========== X========== X========== X==========| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |----------- ----------- ----------- -----------| | | 1 | 2 | 2 | | | | | | | 1 | 2 | | 1 | | |----------- ----------- ----------- -----------| | | | 3 | | | | | 3 4 | | | | 3 | | | | | 3 4----------- ----------- ----------- -----------| | | | | | | | | | | | | 4 | | | | | | | | | |----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- A C Am7 EmX========== X========== =========== ===========| | | | | | | | | | 1 | | | | | 1 | | | | | | |----------- ----------- ----------- -----------| | 1 2 3 | | | 2 | | | | | 2 | | | 1 2 3 | | |----------- ----------- ----------- -----------| | | | | | | 3 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |----------- ----------- ----------- -----------| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- A7addG A7 E A7sus4X========== X========== =========== ===========| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1 | | | | | | | |----------- ----------- ----------- -----------| | 1 | 2 | | | 1 | 2 | 2 3 4 | | | | | 1 | | |----------- ----------- ----------- -----------| | | | | 3 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 3 |----------- ----------- ----------- -----------| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Cmaj7 D7X========== =========== =========== ===========| | | | | | | | | | 1 | | | | | | | | | | | | |----------- ----------- ----------- -----------| | 2 | | | | | | 2 | 3 | | | | | | | | | | | |----------- ----------- ----------- -----------| 3 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |----------- ----------- ----------- -----------| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |----------- ----------- ----------- -----------Intro:----- D G G/C G G6---2-2-2---2-2-2-----2-----2-----2-2-2-----2-2-2-----2-2-2---2-2-2----------3-3-3---3-3-3-----2-----2-----2-2-2-----2-2-2-----2-2-2---2-2-2----------2-2-2---2-2-2-----0-----0-----0-0-0-----0-0-0-----0-0-0---0-0-0------------------------------0-2-----------------------------------2-2-2------------------------0-2---------0-2-------0-3-------0-2-------0--------------0-------0--------------------------------------------------------------- G6 D ---2-2-2---2-2-2---2-2-2---2-2-2--------------------------------------------2-2-2---2-2-2---3-3-3---3-3-3--------------------------------------------0-0-0---0-0-0---2-2-2---2-2-2--------------------------------------------2-2-2---2-2-2----------------------------------------------------------0-------0--------------------------------------------------------------------------------0-------0--------"There was..."-------------------------Verses:------D G D There was a time in this fair land when the railroads did not run D/Cbass G G6When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun D G DAnd long before the white man and long before the wheel A C D Am7 D Am7 DWhen the green dark forest was too silent to be realD G D But time has no beginnings and hist`ry has no bounds D/Cbass G G6As to this verdant country they came from all around D G DThey sailed upon her waterways and they walked the forests tall A C D Am7 D Am7 And built the mines the mills and the factories for the good of us allD G DAnd when the young man`s fancy was turning in the spring D/Cbass G G6The railroad men grew restless for to hear the hammers ring D G DTheir minds were overflowing with the visions of the day A C DWith many a fortune won and lost and many a debt to pay...
