Bruce Cockburn Cover: Rumours of Glory
From his 1980 album, Humans. My suspicion is that he wrote the guitar part *after* recording this song with his reggae band of the time. Playing and singing this song simultaneously is like a Jedi mind trick-- something to do with the rhythm of the guitar part, the way it shift from a downbeat emphasis to an upbeat emphasis. Add to that the fact that the song has a reggae feel, and therefore needs to be perfectly in the pocket. He's said in interviews that he find the original guitar part (on Humans) impossible to play while singing the song; hence I suppose the multiple re-writings of the guitar part over the years. I believe it was on the Breakfast in New Orleans tour that he was performing an astonishingly beautiful version of this song, in his 'drop F#' tuning. The version I'm playing here is from the live concert movie, in standard tuning. It's on Waiting for a Miracle. He plays it Capo III; capo II is more comfortable for my vocal range.
