Thanks sara! I had a bit of this figured out a while back but haven’t given it a proper try in a while. I’ll noodle around with these when I have some free time. Be sure to throw this Tab up in Ultimate-Guitar, at the time they didn’t any decent versions of this song in their database.

I too fell in love with the song upon hearing it in One Week. I’ve been working on the chords and this is what I’ve come up with:

Capo up 3.

Intro and interludes: G G/F#m Em

Verses:
G Bm Em C Am G
G Bm Em C Am G
D C Bm Am7 B7 Em
Em C G Am7 D7 G

Thank you for the song and the story behind it.
I like the movie and also the song.

It is pretty easy to get it as an mp3 with audacity btw.

According to one weeks facebook page you can get the album on itunes at One week itunes That version of Un canadien errant should be in there. Best of luck matt, this copy is incredibly rare from what i can tell. If you're smart enough I'm sure there's a way to rip it from that live stream. I haven't figured out how. The link I have to the song is actually from the One Week website. I had to dig through their source code to find the link to this little flash player. Hope that helps.

Just wondering where you found this song. I looked everywhere for it. Itunes doesnt even have it.

@Dave & Deb – Your very welcome. After hearing that song I figured I should pick it up on guitar. Somewhere along the searches for a decent tab of the song, I came across some of the history behind it. After some more digging, voila! A history post. lol
