Tabbed by:  Todd Young
Tuning:  Standard EADGBE

This is my FIRST tab - and so be nice!  A beautiful song by one of Canada's finest
who reunited in 1992 and are still going strong in 2006.  I posted this tab because I
find the song anywhere online; of course it is only my interpretation, so feel free to 
corrections / feedback.

Rich, Kim , Ronnie - great to have you back again!

INTRO:

A5       D5       A5       D5
Mmm-mmm Mmm-mmm

A5
Carry me
D5                      A5
Home to Birmingham
D5                  A5
To my Sarah-Ann
     D5         A5        B5
To where I grew a man

D5        E5       A5
Mmm-mmm carry me
 D5                         A5
Away from this old war
  D5                           A5
I don't wanna fight no more
  D5           A5          B5
I just wish it would end
D5       E5
Mmm-mmm

CHORUS
A5                               D5
Here I'm tied down and homesick
       A5                       D5
And that old wind just blows so freely
D5             A5               B5
Why can't it take me along

D5       E5        A5
Mmm-mmm carry me
D5                        A5
With you ramblin' wind
D5                           A5
It's the place you've been
  D5       E5               A5
I wish I was home again

A5       D5       A5       D5
Mmm-mmm Mmm-mmm

RIFFS:

Of course there are lots of cool licks and riffs in this song, and here are my humble
of the more prominent ones that stand out.  Try them out if you get two guitars going
and of course, feel free to correct them as you see fit (sorry if they?re not entirely 
? these are my first riffs!):

riff1 (played over the B E B chords in the break and coda):
e | -------------------------------------- | 
B | -------------------------------------- | 
G | -------------------------------------- | 
D | --1----------------------------------- | 
A | -----2--4--2-----2?2------------------ | 
E | --------------4--------4--2----------- | 

riff2 (that quick one between the B E B chords in the break and coda):
e | -------------------------------------- | 
B | -------------------------------------- | 
G | -------------------------------------- | 
D | -------------------------------------- | 
A | --------2--4---------2---------------- | 
E | --2--4--------2--4-------------------- | 

riff3 (This riff is only played ONCE ? at the end of the break on top of the last B E
 It starts out the same as the beginning of riff1, but then it goes into a descent which
on the A note and sets you up for the A chord of the upcoming chorus ? might not be 
? but it works for me!):
e | ----------------------------------------------- | 
B | ----------------------------------------------- | 
G | -----------------1----------------------------- | 
D | --1-----------------4--2--4--2--0-------------- | 
A | -----2--4--2-----------------------4--2-------- | 
E | --------------4-------------------------------- |
