  • This is "Watching the Apples Grow" from Stan Rogers' really excellent
    album Fogarty's Cove. There's some very good backup guitar which I
    would really appreciate someone tabbing. It's probably Curly Boy Stubbs
  • doing it, with Stan just playing rhythm, but I could be wrong.
     
    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
     
  • C F
    It's early up, Ontario farm, chicken crow for day
    C Am
  • I wish I grew Annapolis apples up above Fundy's Bay
    F C
    Oh it seems so far away
  •  
    C F
    On the ridge above Acadia's town to the valley down below
  • C Am
    The evening shadow falls upon the family listening to the radio
    F C
  • And watching the apples grow
     
    Chorus:
  • F C F C
    Down on the farm, back among the family, away from Ontario
    F C Am
  • Hear the ladies singing to their men, dancing it heel and toe
    F C
    And watching the apples grow
  •  
    [There's a fiddle solo at this point. If anyone would like to ]
    [transcribe it, that'd be really cool. I mean transcribe it for ]
  • [fiddle, I could probably get it for guitar, with a lot of trouble. ]
     
    C F
  • Ontario, y'know I've seen a place I'd rather be
    C Am
    Your scummy lakes and city of Toronto don't do a damn thing for me
  • F C
    I'd rather live by the sea
     
  • C F
    I've watched the V's of geese go by, the foxfoot in the snow
    C Am
  • I've climbed the ridge of Gaspereaux Mt., looking to the valley below
    F C
    And watching the apples grow.

    Repeat chorus twice, then wrap it up.
     
  • Notes on the Solo:
    If anyone knows who's playing this, please tell me!
    It's played quick & snappy- keeps you on your toes!
  • When he slides from/to a note it's always started on a whole step (two
    frets) above/below, whichever's appropriate.
    The backup Am and F following it are single strums only (this goes for
  • the rest of the song, too).
    There are probably some grace notes & stuff which I didn't get, 'cause
    this is my first attempt at transcribing anything. Nevertheless, I
  • think it's pretty good.
     
    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---|
    |---------------------------------|
     
  • So I'm not entirely sure where the actual switch is, but I think it's
    right the way I finally put it.
     
  • 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.
