THE BALLAD OF THE YARMOUTH CASTLE
Gordon Lightfoot (C) 1969

Transcribed by Gord Broom <gjbroom@csr.UVic.CA>, 1994. (Version 1.0)

NOTES:

This song appeared originally on the "Sunday Concert" live album.
Capo at the second fret and fingerpick. At the end of the first and
third lines of each verse, use a G/Gsus4/G riff. At the end of the
second and fourth lines, use an Am/Asus4/Am/Asus2/Am riff. I've
transcribed it from the "Original Lightfoot" boxed set. Thanks to
Matthew Fifer <mfifer@merle.acns.nwu.edu> for sending me the lyrics
off the "Sunday Concert Plus" CD which corrected a couple of my "hear-os."
