Lightfoot Gordon - "Canadian Railroad Trilogy"
#----------------------------------PLEASE NOTE---------------------------------# #This file is the authors own work and represents their interpretation of the # #song.

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)|---2------ |-----3---- |---2------ |---------- |---------- |---------- and a capo on the 3rd fret. The song is mostly based in D. This tuning gives the D chord an especially huge sound. Try to avoid playing the low (d)|---2------ |-----3---- |---2------ |---------- |---------- |---------- on most chords (except the D). I have put a (X) on the chord charts to remind you of 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 top four (or 8, if youve got a 12-string) for the jangly, percussive rhythms and hits bass notes on a main beat. For the first three verses (and all the rest just like them), play the D/C# bass chord as a regular (d)|---2------ |-----3---- |---2------ |---------- |---------- |---------- and just hit that C# once as a bass note, and then the same goes for the (b)|-2-------- |-2--4----- |-2--4----- |-2--4----- |-2-------- |-2-------- note in the (g) |------3--- |---------- |---------- |---------- |----2----- |------3--- chord. It sounds complicated, but it creates that descending bass pattern on the (a)|---------- |---2------ |---2------ |---2------ |---------- |---------- string. Just play along with the record a couple of times. Im sure youll get the idea! Feel that musically-metaphoric train chugging along and marvel at his brilliance as he manages to combine the rhythm with the meaning of the song...All aboard!!! Anyway, follow the recording to get the rhythms. I finally decided to tab the intro from the Gords Gold album, since that is the version most people seem to be most familiar with. Tablatures major limitation is the lack of convenient way to notate rhythm. The way to count the intro is "one-two-e-and-a..."
