This is one of Robbie Robertson's lesser-known gems.  Wonderful lyrics and a sweet
accoustic part that adds to the overall tone.  Its good stuff.  There are lyrics and
chords at http://theband.hiof.no/lyrics/acadian_driftwood.html, but I figured I'd tab
out the intro because its simple and cool.  This isn't perfect but its definitely
something to work with.  The studio version is done with an accoustic but on the live
version from the Last Waltz concert R.R. just plays it on the electric; however, it
doesn't sounds as good.  Bon chance avec le francais a la fin de le chanson si tu ne
parle pas acadien.
