27 Apr 01 - 08:10 AM (#450396) Subject: Kate Wolf's Telluride From: Naemanson As the thread title says I am looking for the lyrics and chords for the song Kate Wolf. I can transcribe the words easily enough but I am hopeless at figuring out the chords by ear so the real thrust of this message is to get the chords. Search for "Kate Wolf" threads |

27 Apr 01 - 08:12 AM (#450397) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Kate Wolf's Telluride From: Naemanson Actually, now that I think about it, I'm not sure if the name of the song is correct. I've always thought of it as "Telluride" but that may be another song. This is the song about the guy working at the Telluride sawmill and thinking about his old friend who left town years before. |

He hasn't in recent years, but he may remember the chords. He got out of doing it, in part, because I wouldn't learn it because the chord pattern made no sense and I couldn't follow it. He probably won't see the Mudcat until tonight. Maybe he can help you then. Peter. |

27 Apr 01 - 08:18 PM (#450783) Subject: ADD: Telluride From: bigchuck Ok, I just posted it. Man, that's a lot of work. Guess I'd better go back and see wow it came out. Transferred from another thread, with preformat tags added to space chords. No need for two threads on one song, bigchuck. -Joe Offer- While popularized by Kate Wolfe, this fine song was actually written by folks in a band called the "Cache Valley Drifters". I have probably tinkered with a few of the lyrics, but the chording comes from the second Kate Wolfe Songbook. Sandy TELLURIDE D A Em D |
