  • Capo 2 frets up; the chords shown are just the chord shapes as if the
    capo wasn't there, so the REAL chords (if you don't have a capo) would
    be a whole step up, e.g. in the first verse: D,G,D,Bm,G,D

    C F
    It's early up, Ontario farm, chicken crow for day
  • C Am
    I wish I grew Annapolis apples up above Fundy's Bay
    F C
  • Oh it seems so far away
     
    C F
  • On the ridge above Acadia's town to the valley down below
    C Am
    The evening shadow falls upon the family listening to the radio
  • F C
    And watching the apples grow
     
  • Chorus:
    F C F C
    Down on the farm, back among the family, away from Ontario
  • F C Am
    Hear the ladies singing to their men, dancing it heel and toe
    F C
  • And watching the apples grow
     
     
  • [There's a fiddle solo at this point. If anyone would like to ]
    [transcribe it, that'd be really cool. I mean transcribe it for ]
    [fiddle, I could probably get it for guitar, with a lot of trouble. ]

    C F
    Ontario, y'know I've seen a place I'd rather be
  • C Am
    Your scummy lakes and city of Toronto don't do a damn thing for me
    F C
  • I'd rather live by the sea
     
    C F
  • I've watched the V's of geese go by, the foxfoot in the snow
    C Am
    I've climbed the ridge of Gaspereaux Mt., looking to the valley below
  • F C
    And watching the apples grow.

  • Repeat chorus twice, then wrap it up.
     
    Notes on the Solo:
  • If anyone knows who's playing this, please tell me!
    It's played quick & snappy- keeps you on your toes!
    When he slides from/to a note it's always started on a whole step (two
  • frets) above/below, whichever's appropriate.
    The backup Am and F following it are single strums only (this goes for
    the rest of the song, too).
  • There are probably some grace notes & stuff which I didn't get, 'cause
    this is my first attempt at transcribing anything. Nevertheless, I
    think it's pretty good.
  •  
    Notes on the Song:
    Great song!
  • The rhythm is somewhat bluegrassy, a fast boom-chicka (bass note - strum
    chord down/up).
    The only real trouble I had was figuring out where the chord switch was
  • on the last line of each verse. There's a run from F to C which I play
    something like this:
    F C
  • v . . . v . . . v . . . v . . .
    |-1---------------------------0---|
    |-1---------------------------1---|
  • |-2---------------------------0---|
    |-3-------3---2---0---2-------2---|
    |-3-----------------------3---3---|
  • |---------------------------------|
     
    So I'm not entirely sure where the actual switch is, but I think it's
  • right the way I finally put it.
     
    Notes on the Tablature:
  • 'v' is the beat.
    '. . .' are the notes in-between, though the middle '.' could be
    considered a lighter downbeat.
  • '/' is a slide up the note following.
    '' is a slide down to the note following.
