Re: Gord Chord question
It has been 10 plus years since I was able to get my stroke-affected left hand 's fingers around the fret so I cannot now test this out for myself but for reference here are the first few lines with chords as presented on Wayne's site:-
C) I spent most of my life outside (G) in the driving rain
(Bm5+) I was only trying to get (Em9) by with some of (Em) life's ameni(Am7)ties
Well (G) nothing's free
(G/B) I got more than I (Am7) bargained for, (G/B) now it's (B7) plain to (C) see
I (G/B) can't depend on (Am) love to defend (G) me

Interesting thread this makes. I also am looking forward to your renditon Brian.

yes well no doubt our busking Vancouverine has every one of Gord's chords etched deeply into his memory but some years ago Ron passed to me a number of his singalong sheet music volumes.So he probably does not have the relevant book to hand
I have two copies of the ODR book (one is ex Ron plus one cedded to me by the chatroom pioneer Rik Stevens.)
I have therefore been able to scan the relevant page see the attachment full sized
I note that whoever contrived the chords set the song in a different key to the one that Wayne used so the recalcitrant Bm5+ is unfortunately not shown therein
i tried searching for it at:-
http://jguitar.com/chordsearch?chordsearch=Bm5%2B
which reported:-
"The following chord symbols were not understood. Please make sure they are correct and try again.
"Bm5+"
However as Gord has recently been making great play on the fact that he plays capoed music I feel pretty confident, Brian, that with your capo you can adapt the chords shown on the sheet music page to suit your vocal range or whatever your particular whim dictates
