What's that? Your "E" chord doesn't sound like a Blue Rodeo "E" chord?
Check the notes at the bottom of the page to find out why.

INTRO:    | E   E4  | E   E4  | E   E4  | E   E4  ||

E             B7           E        E
Just like the sun over the mountain tops
A             A            E        E
You know I'll always come again
A          A                E    E
You know I love to spend my mornings
B7            B7              E         E
Like sunlight dancing on your skin

E                  B7                   E       E
I've never gone so wrong as for telling lies to you
A        A             E      E
What you see is what I am
A        A               E         E
There is nothing I could hide from you
E          B7            E         E
You see me better than I can

CHORUS:  A          A                E       E
         Out on the road that lies before me now
         A              A                  E      E
         There are some turns where I will spin
         A      A                 E       E
         I only hope that you can hold me now
         B7        B7            E       E
         Til I can gain control again

[INSTRUMENTAL VERSE]

And like a lighthouse, you must stand alone
Landmark a safe journey's end
No matter what sea I've been sailing on
I'll always come back home again.

[REPEAT CHORUS]

OUTRO:   A      A                 E       E
         I only hope that you can hold me now
         B7        B7            E      E
         Til I can gain control again

         |A    |A    |E    |E        |B7   |B7   |E    |E [stop]

E4 = 022200   B7 = x21202

Blue Rodeo make liberal use of suspended chords.  It adds flavour to the
song, especially if you are playing it solo on an acoustic guitar.  In this
song, the E4 chord pops up everywhere (aside from where it's noted in the
intro).  Here's one way to play a bar of E while incorporating this
embellishment.  I use this all through the song, particularly in the first
bar of two consecutive bars of E.  I tend to play a straight E chord in a
bar leading up to a B7 chord, and sometimes in the bars leading up to A
chords.  Throw it in wherever it feels comfortable for you.

ie. At the asterisk, hammer your pinky finger on to the third string/second
fret to create an E4 chord.
