Brian,
The books are never totally correct unless it's Tab.
Yeh,the E5no3rd,a big chord for Gord.That's how he gets that fat sound on both the 6 and 12 string.

Robby,
I know what you mean about the "books".I don't know why they did'nt do them all the way Gordon does them!Sometimes you find them in a different key,relative to the capo.I've even found some that do not use the capo.I found some of these variations to be quite confusing in the early learning days.I do not "read" music,don't have a clue in that realm,just learn from the chord and tab books and from the ear.
The obese E.The chord of many faces.E5no3rd,E,E5,Eno3rd,E drone.Just depends on what book and what song yer lookin at,but it's pretty much the same chord.I think it should just be named "L#t"
I think I have most of the Gordon music books,but one of my favorites is the Old Dan's,original lead & notes.The one in His own handwriting.Wish they were all like that!!

Brian,you've got to share a little!How's bout sharing one or two songs from the book you speak of?In his own hand writting,you don't say!
Old Dan's Records-the song-prime example of working around the E5no3rd chord(capo:2ndfret)
Dave Matthews does something like that on "Crash".
How about "Farewell To Anabell"?
One of my Favs:"Another Lazy Mornin'"
Capo:2nd fret,D,D6,D7----G,Gm--D,E(D 4thfret)
And that part ..I know it but not sure of the chord names:
A Bb+7? D+7? A7
Coffee In the kitchen woman on the run
Just some inversions of the A chord,I presume.
What ever it is,he uses almost the exact same
progression for the song "Ghosts Of Cape Horn"
See them all in sad repair,Demons dance everywhere....

speaking of Forgive me lord, when he played it live in the 80s, he'd changed the lyric "i've even been stoned"... instead of chased..

Robby,
I'd be more than happy to share anything I have in the Gord music realm.
Except for "Ghosts",the other songs you mentioned are all in the GOOD version of ODR.Send me your address{on the personnel message system,if you prefer},and I will make You a copy of the book and send it to you.I'm sure there is some way to do it on the computer,but I'm about as adept on a computer as I am at reading sheet music.
You mentioned a couple more of my favorites.
Dave M. ,I really like his solo work,don't care much for the whole band scene though.
And "Ghosts",that is most often the one I warm up my fingers with when I first pick up the 6-string.I love the progression too,but I'm not familiar with the version You mentioned.I do Dm,C,F,G,Dm,C,Dm.
FtA and ODR are actually very similar.I could give you the chord names that are in the book,but I don't know how to show the chord diagrams in a simple way.
Another one of my favs. in this book is "My Pony Won't Go".Drives my wife nuts.{not one of her favs.}I don't know why,and I seldom ever hear others mention this song,but from the first time I ever heard it,I was hooked.To each His or Her own,I reckon..

Last night at my Fri. nite gig,I tried "Forgive Me Lord" and felt a shiver go down my neck.
just another tremendous Lightfoot song that didn't make it on an album.The verse chords on "Ghosts" are simple but fast in progression.
I was talkin bout the Bridge.
I love Dream Street Rose.It may be the best album ever,the last full album with petal steel guitar.
Honestly,I know I'm gonna get yelled at,but I wish that I had been old enough to see the
Lightfoot Three:Gord,Red Shea&John Stockfish
in concert in,say,1968.He was strong and vibrant back then.When I saw him in 2001 and 2002 in Clearwater,Fla. it was very 1 dimentional.
With all due respect,I'm as Big a fan as anyone on the planet but long gone are the days of"Oh,Linda".
