500 Miles (1961) _______________ The Journeymen: Scott McKenzie John Phillips Dick Weissman ___________________________________________________________________ The song is right here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cgQJzJsM5U __________________________________________________________________________________ The song is originally played on the guitar and the banjo. Here's how I play the song on the guitar. It sounds better with two guitars, so find a friend who plays the guitar as well. __________________________________________________________________________________ Standard Tunning, Capo 3 fret Chords: G, Em, Am, C Intro - the easiest way to play the intro is this: G (320003@1) Em (022000@1) Am (x02210@1) C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1)(keep playing G) e|--------------------------------------------------------| B|------0--0-----0-------0--------------0-----------------| G|----0------2-0---2-0-2---2-0------0-2---2-0---0-----0-0-| D|--0--------------------------2--2-----------2---2-------| A|--------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------| G (320003@1) EmIf (022000@1)you miss the train I'm on, Am (x02210@1) CYou (x32010@1)will know that I am gone, Am (x02210@1) C (x32010@1) GYou (320003@1)can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.
