Classic Canadian folk tune. Theme song from 1970 Canadian film, "Goin' Down the Road," by Bruce Cockburn.
Meter: 3/4
Progression: (Verse) I-bVII-I, (Chorus) IV-I-IV-I-IV-vi-V-IV
Rhythm: Can use slow classic Waltz strumming. I use the upbeat, syncopated 3/4 pattern above--makes this a
fun song to sing.
