Ballad Of The Yarmouth Castle chords by Gordon Lightfoot

Guitar chords with lyrics

THE BALLAD OF THE YARMOUTH CASTLE
		     Gordon Lightfoot (C) 1969

    Transcribed by Gord Broom , 1994. (Version 1.0)

NOTES:

 This song appeared originally on the "Sunday Concert" live album.
 Capo at the second fret and fingerpick.  At the end of the first and
 third lines of each verse, use a G/Gsus4/G riff.  At the end of the
 second and fourth lines, use an Am/Asus4/Am/Asus2/Am riff.  I've
 transcribed it from the "Original Lightfoot" boxed set.  Thanks to
 Matthew Fifer  for sending me the lyrics
 off the "Sunday Concert Plus" CD which corrected a couple of my "hear-os."
