I remember hearing two different Rush versions of this from the sixties. One was slower and stripped down, the other uptempo and slathered with schmaltzy strings. It really deserves to be slow and unadorned, nothing to distract from the profound emotion, haunting melody and powerful lyrics. In other words, precisely like this. Even if this were the only thing Rush recorded, he'd still deserve immortality for writing the very best breakup song ever.

@shepardman666 I know what you mean. I'm 66. I bought Circle Game after hearing his early recording on Acorn or Oak, or something like that.. Not available in UK but a friend brought it back from the States. I've got it on tape. Will try and upload it one day.

This is lovely. Almost as if he`s writing from experience. Wasn't familiar with this version. Glad I discovered it

@kettering1949 The tuning is CGCGCE
-
@Pauleglide Right on. I feel exactly the same. Always loved this song. I'm searching for the extended version of this song with guitar only ending
-
I just wonder what tuning the guitar is in?
I saw/heard him last night in Utica, New York. A reminder of how great the folk movement of the 60's was and still--for artists like Tom--is. A erudite and entertaining story-teller, superb musician and a marvelous interpretive vocalist...Hope he strays up here again sometime.

This has to be one the saddest and most poignant songs ever written. Every line is so simple, yet rings so true...
