Wreck Of The Athens Queen

Biography:

Stanley Allison Rogers (November 29, 1949 – June 2, 1983) was a Canadian folk musician and songwriter.

Rogers was noted for his rich, baritone voice and his traditional-sounding songs which were frequently inspired by Canadian history and the daily lives of working people, especially those from the fishing villages of the Maritime provinces and, later, the farms of the Canadian prairies and Great Lakes. Rogers died in a fire aboard Air Canada Flight 797 on the ground at the Greater Cincinnati Airport at the age of 33.

Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

I'm a new hand at Adding Tabs (at least to the internet), but it shocked me no to hear
classic at least chorded-out. There's a lot of other stuff going on in the song, but
on an acoustic, this sounds about right:

Wreck of the Athens Queen

A A/G# F#m F#m/E D E A
We were drinking down to Ready's place when first we heard the blow
A A/G# F#m F#m/E D Bm
It seemed to come from Ripper Rock so boldly forth we go
D A F#m-E
And sure enough a rusty tub could just barely be seen
A F#m
As her stern was high up in the air we made out "Athens Queen"
D E A
Oh the lovely Athens Queen

and so forth...
