By Liz Wanless and the Grundys 4th Edition, 2008 Name: _ _ th Preface to the 4 Edition Welcome to the most intense Guitar Book yet! The book has come a long way since its 35-page first edition, and could not have been made possible without the support and enthusiasm of guitar jammers everywhere, from Birch Island to Algonquin Park, up north and beyond. Special thanks to Rob Grundy for his constant encouragement, editing, and contributions to this and past editions. Also, big high-fives to Ian Grundy, Rich Howard and Hil Best for their contributions, and to the Montreal chapter of Mi-A-Kon-Da and the McGill Outdoors Club for their suggestions and for testing out the book! I hope this book brings you all good times around the campfire, wherever that may be. Ashley Garrod 1985-2007 The 2008 edition of the Guitar Book is dedicated to Ashley Garrod, an outstanding Tanamakoon staff member and life-long camper who will always be remembered for her passion, devotion, and enthusiasm for camp and life. I will always remember her sitting patiently with her guitar book learning new songs and rocking out old favourites, and thank her for her guidance and leadership in Outdoor Ed and summer camp. Rock on, Ash. This book is intended for the personal use and enjoyment of campers, counsellors, and Outdoors Clubs. Many of the songs in the book are original tablatures, and many were adapted from crappy online versions. The tablatures in this book represent interpretations of artists’ work, which is property of the artists. We’re just spreading the love. This book cannot be sold for profit. A lot of work went into this, and the songs do not belong to us. We don’t want any law suits—we just want to rock. The “Camp Mi-A-Kon-Da” logo is property of Camp Mi-A-Kon-Da, Inc. (www.miakonda.com), the most rockin’ island of the north. Inquiries, comments, and suggestions are welcome. Please e-mail [email protected].

I say love, it is a flower, Every place I go I’ll think of you. F C Every song I sing I’ll sing or you. and you its only seed. When I come back I’ll bring your wedding ring. [Chorus] It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance. Now the time has come to leave you. It's the dream afraid of waking One more time, let me kiss you.
