A Bruce Cockburn Cover
Well, the melody line anyway. This song is called All the Ways I Want You and it's off of his Dart To The Heart album. It's such a simple progression - I's, IV's and V's - but I find the melody is really beautiful. I hope I captured at least a bit of the feel.
It's over on my soundclick account...

I liked that, Doug, very much... I don't know the original tune, so I don't know if it was the cover or your version of the tune, anyway, well played!!!

Very nice Doug. I didn't know anyone else around here knew about BC - I've been a fan of his for years. Thanks for posting.

Thanks again everyone. Carol, I think Bruce is probably more popular here in Canada than elsewhere (which is not always the case with Canadian artists) - I think he's been too political in the past to be popular on American radio.
He's an amazing guitarist.
I've posted a second version of the song on soundclick this time in E.

Very nice version Doug. Some of my favourite BC songs are One Day I Walk in Diamonds, Dialogue with the Devil, Pacing the Cage and he does a killer version on Chimes of Freedom with Youssou N'Dour. The McGarrigles are (yet) another Canadian singer/songwriter(s) that are terrific, and of course Leonard Cohen - the list is endless when you come to think of it. (oops, forgot Kirk  )
I've never managed to play a BC song properly - too difficult for me (as yet  )

Hi Carol,
I spent a bit of time looking for Youssou N'Dour and Bruce's version of Chimes of Freedom - can you tell what album it's on?
I've always been a fan of Bruce Cockburn. In the early 70's he toured small towns in the Ottawa valley and played at my high school - his dog joined him on stage. I've seen him a number of times since then. He can be a bit heavy at times. I remember seeing him at a concert dedicated for a land mine free world and hearing people behind me in the hall, saying "lighten up, Bruce!". Of course, they were there to see John Prine.
I like Kate and Anna McGariggle as well - although I haven't heard from them lately. Kate's kids seem to be doing well, though - Rufus and Martha Wainwright.
If you're interested in a compilation of Canadian songs, I'd recommend KD Lang's "Hymns of the 49th Parallel". It has two Leonard Cohen songs, Neil Young, Joni Mitchel, Jane Siberry, and Bruce Cockburn. I find it a bit over produced but KD Lang has impeccable intonation - she is an amazing singer. If you have iTunes on your PC - I use it and I don't even have an iPod - you can check it out very easily.
