  • Capo 2 frets up; the chords shown are just the chord shapes as if the
    capo wasn't there, so the REAL chords (if you don't have a capo) would
    be a whole step up, e.g. in the first verse: D,G,D,Bm,G,D

    It's early up, Ontario farm, chicken crow for day

    I wish I grew Annapolis apples up above Fundy's Bay
    F C
  • Oh it seems so far away
     
    C F

  • F C
    And watching the apples grow
     
  • Chorus:
    F C F C
    Down on the farm, back among the family, away from Ontario

    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 . . .
    |-1---------------------------0---|
  • |-1---------------------------1---|
    |-2---------------------------0---|
    |-3-------3---2---0---2-------2---|
  • |-3-----------------------3---3---|
    |---------------------------------|
     
  • 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.
  • PLAY TOO ..
