Subject: Lyle Lovit: If I had a boat
Organization: Indiana University
Date: Sun, 20 Dec 1992 03:36:06 GMT

Someone was asking for "If I had a pony tab."  I don't have time to do the
words and tab right now, but I'll try to give you the chords as I play 
them.  I capo up nine frets--that's right--and play with G-form chords. It's
actually in E, but I'm going to give the chords as if it wwere in G.
G6  320030   C  X32010  Em 022000  D6/F# 20020X

The chorus starts on the C chord and alternates.

    C          G             C             G
And if I had a boat, I would go out on the ocean,
    C          G (desc. bass)Em            D
And if I had a pony I would ride him on my boat.
    C               G       C            G
And we would all together, go out on the ocean,
G          D          G
Me upon my pony on my boat.

The Verses go  G  C  G  C  G  G  G  D
               G  C  G  C  G  D  G  G

You really have to fingerpick, more or less travis style.  Good luck.

Hello Gord.

The version of CHORD found in ftp.nevada (mistakenly labeled 2.0 while
it is 1.2) has a bug in it.

For some mysterious reason, the guy who handle this ftp site has never
replied to my emails and had never installed the fixed release.

If your bug is that it core dumps on a "define" instructions, here's
how you can fix it:

Edit "grid.c" using your favourite text editor and
change line 252 from:
                        else if (tolower(temp_str[0]) ==  tolower(FRET_X_STR))
to
                        else if (!strcasecmp(temp_str, FRET_X_STR))


If this does not fix your bug, please send more info. Even though CHORD
is not formally supported, we'll help you get it up and running.

Well, yeah.  This one's pretty easy.

There are 12 notes:

A A#/Bb B C C#/Db D D#/Eb E F F#/Gb G G#/Ab

(A# and Bb are the same, etc....)

The distance between any 2 consecutive notes is 1/2 a step. 

Sooo....

If you've got a song in the key of Ab and want to put it into the
key of A, just raise everything 1/2 a step.  So....

Ab, Fm, Db, Eb  becomes  A, F#m, D, E

You want it in G?  Take it down 1/2 a step....

G, Em, C, D

in C, take it up 4 1/2 steps (2 whole steps)...

C, Am, F, G

etc....

You'll notice that what you have is a fairly common
chord progression.  In D, the same progression is 
D, Bm, A, G

There are a LOT (gazillions) of songs which are done
using these 4 chords.  Take out the minor chord, and
there are gazillions written using the remaining 3.
In fact, any song which sounds like it'd be pretty easy
to sing is probably written using some ordering of these
3 or 4 chords.

I don't have any tab, but I know that there is some of his stuff in a
book by Stefan Grossman, published by (I think) Kicking Mule, who are
based in N.Y.

This company publishes lots of cool fingerpicking /folk
/ragtime/country blues type of stuff, generally with tab and score,
and often with accompanying cassette.  Well worth checking out.  I'll
see if I can find the address so you can send for their catalogue.

	I feel better now.  Now I know that attitude I've gotten in
some stores in not just me.  It seems that many of these people are so
lacking in self esteem that they have to impress upon you their
superiority at every possible opportunity.  Personally, I think the
best way to show up an asshole store owner is to take you business
elsewhere. 


	Now that I'm posting might as well ask a tabulature question.
Does anyone have the tabs for House of the Rising Sun by the Animals?
I used to have a very easy to play version that sounded great but
since then I have lost it.  I looked at the one on ftp.nevada.edu, and
it's nothing like what I remember.  The first few measures were
something like this:

			          These are guesses.

I noticed that the version for this posted in the archive doesn't

sure about (in parentheses), but most of it is correct.

SWEET JANE by
the Velvet Underground
_________________________
D        A      G  G     B        A    D  D
Standing on the corner
suitcase in my hand
(Jack - - - -) that Janie's in her vest
and me I'm in a rock n roll band
Riding I start day catching
you know those were different times
all those poets studied use of verse
and those ladies, they rolled their eyes

CHORUS
------
sweet Jane
sweet Jane
sweet Jane


I tell ya something, Jack he is banker
and Jane, she is a clerk
and both of them save their monies
and when they come home from work
Sitting down by the fire
the radio starts to play
the classical music, the march of the wooden soldiers
all you protest kids, you can hear Jack say

CHORUS

Some people they like to go out dancing
and other people they have to work
and there's even some people
they're gonna tell you that everything is just dirt
You know that women never really faint and that
villains always blink their eyes
and that children aren't the only ones who blush
and that life is just too tight

If anyone had a heart
they wouldn't turn around and break it
if anyone (had) a heart
they wouldn't turn around and hate it

CHORUS

Have a nice day,

That's right when you're an experimented player, but i'm quiet
begginer, and i find it really boring when those farmers(steve's ?) 
as you said, look at you as they would look at rats...
Now, i don't care anymore, but when i have to wait for an hour
