Erie Canal Bruce Springsteen
Chords posted so[(2)] far just aren't quite right.
It's mainly good old chord I (Em) and V (B7)
The Em/B is optional as the chord inversion comes from the bass playing a B in the
but playing solo it sounds 'right' without the low E sounding.
This is my first tab on the web - so be easy on me!
Capo on first fret
[E-A-D-G-B-E]
Em = 0-2-2-0-0-0----------| Em/B = x-2-2-0-0-0----------| B7 = x-2-1-2-0-2----------| G = 3-2-0-0-0-3----------| C = x-3-2-0-1-0----------| D = x-x-0-2-3-2----------| B7/F#= 2-2-4-2-4-2-|
I[Em]'ve got a [B7/F#]mule, and her [G]name is [Em/B]Sal,
[Em/B]Fifteen miles on the [B7]Erie [Em]Can*l.
[(Em)]She's a [Em]good ol' [B7/F#]worker an' a [G]good ol' [Em/B]pal,
[Em/B]Fifteen miles on the [B7]Erie [Em]Can*l.
We've [G]hauled some barges [D]in our day,
F[Am]illed with lumber, c[C]oal, and hay,
A[Em]nd we know [B7/F#]every [G]inch of the [Em/B]way
[(Em/B)] [B7] [Em]
L[G]ow bridge, e[D]verybody down!
L[G]ow bridge, f[D]or we're comin' through [Em]a town!
[(Em)]And you'll a[Em]lways know your ne[B7/F#]ighbor,
You'll alw[G]ays know your pal,
I[B7]f you've ever navigated on the Erie Ca[Em]n*l.
We'd [Em]better look a[B7/F#]round for a [G]job, ol' [Em/B]gal,
[(Em/B)]Fifteen miles on the [B7]Erie [Em]Can*l!
'Cause you [Em]bet your [B7/F#]life I'd [G]never part with [Em/B]Sal,
[(Em/B)]Fifteen miles on the [B7]Erie [Em]Can*l!
G[G]it up there, mule, here[D] comes a lock,
W[Am]e'll make Rome 'bout[C] six o'clock,
O[Em]ne more [B7/F#]trip and [G]back we'll [Em/B]go
[(Em/B)]Right back home to [B7]Buffa[Em]lo.
L[G]ow bridge, e[D]verybody down!
L[G]ow bridge, f[D]or we're comin' through [Em]a town!
And you'll[Em] always know your [B7/F#]neighbor,
You'll alw[G]ays know your [Em/B]pal,
[(Em/B)]If you've ever navigated on the [B7]Erie [Em]Can*l.
