Guysborough Train / Stan Rogers
Personal comments:
This Piece of Music looks like a quit unusual Song Pattern.
Starting with a minor chord and moving straight to 5th major.
In basic this song has some similar pattern to old Pink Floyd songs,
like "welcome to the machines" its sounds strange but is truth.
This is why a strong sound and dynamic comes into this piece of music.
The fact to move from minor to major and not to minor,
moves the sound away from Latin into British or even Celtic pattern.
The Way Stan Rogers sings this song with dynamic in words it's just excellent.
So Love to Play and thanks to Stan.

Guysborough Train
Normal tuning
Intro and Basic Song pattern:
Em / A7 / C / C / (repeat serval time)
Em A7
Now there's no train to Guysborough
D G
Or so the man said
C G Bm
So it might be a good place to be
Em A7
So I sit in this station
D G
And I count up my change
C Bm Em / A7 / C / C /
And I wait for the Guysborough train
Em G
Now I've sat in your kitchens
G D
And talked about walls
C G Bm
And I've sung about your withering pain
Em G
Shattered your temples
D G
And I've brought on your fall
C Bm Em
Now I wait for the Guysborough train
A7 Em
And I ride for all time, on the Guysborough line
A7 C Em
And I grow by the North Country rain
A7
And the North Shore's begun
Em
The man I've become
C Bm Em / A7 / C / C /
In rags, on the Guysborough train
No train to Guysborough
Now ain't that a shame
Though I know there will be one in time
And the house that's alone
It soon will be gone
Razed for the Guysborough line
People are simple
Like the rain clouds sweet
Both grown by that North Country rain
The Interval is clear
Will it soon disappear
Under the Guysborough train
