Tom: C 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.

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 . . . E|-1---------------------------0---| B|-1---------------------------1---| G|-2---------------------------0---| D|-3-------3---2---0---2-------2---| A|-3-----------------------3---3---| E|---------------------------------| 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.
