Your cover is amazing, both guitar and vocals. This is my absolute favorite song and Lightfoot's most beautiful in my opinion. Any chance you'll share the chords? Can't find a good version online.

Thank you kindly. I don't have tabs, but you can find the chords at Lightfoot.ca under "alphabetical songlist".

Very nice. Sad about Terry Clements. Gord is a gem and you cover him very well!

Bob Woolcock told me to give you a listen. Glad I took his advice. You are amazing.

Thank you Nancy. Have you heard his version of Seven Island Suite?

He's very good.

I've never heard anyone this side of the pond either do it, ........one of the songs I learned when immersed in the great man's songs , but somehow got lost.....be a host of folk pickin' it up now they've heard your version Brian....good stuff.

This song is one of my faves. You do it great justice.

I've been trying to figure out the picking pattern and proper chords for a while now. I'd love for you to let me in on the secret.
