 Sweet City Woman - The Stampeders 
  
 Tabbed by Adam Bishop 
  
 Thanks to the people from the Sympatico Forums who helped out with this! 
  
 The G-G5-Am-Aadd9-G-Gadd9 chord progression is played by a 6-string 
 banjo, tuned like a normal guitar.  It sounds pretty much the same on an 
 acoustic guitar.  You should be able to tell which riffs are played by 
 that guitar, and which are played by the electric guitar.

 Verse 1 (with Riff 1) 
  
 Well I'm on my way to the city life 
 To a pretty face that shines her light on the city night 
 And I gotta catch a noon train, I gotta be there on time 
 Oh it feels so good to know she waits at the end of the line

 (with riff 4) (I'm not sure about the words here....it could be "c'est bon") 
 Bon, say bon, bon bon say bon bon

 So long boy, so long boy, so long 
 (with riff 5) 
 Neighbours and friends 
  
 (with riff 1) 
 Like a country morning, all smothered in dew 
 I just got away to make a man feel shiny and new 
 And she'll sing in the evening, some familiar tunes 
 And she feeds me love and tenderness and maccaroons
