Opps :blush somehow the formatting screwed up big time folks. Sorry.
Just "copy" and "paste" into notepad, an ASCII text editor, or a word-pro in a non-proportional font and it should come out fine :smile

You're welcome
I'm rather surprised though as there were dozens of requests for this TAB that there hasn't been more respose to this :disapointed: It seemed every time that the Firefly Theme was talked about half a dozen folk would jump in yelling "we want the Hero of Canton". Go Figure :shrug:
Anyway, I hope you two, ebonezer and tmuurie, get good milage out of it and have some fun with it

Nae problem
I'm glad it works for your style too
I'd been playing diferent versions of "City of New Orleans" and Del Amitri's "Nothing Ever Happens" and the F/G/Am, C/Am and Dm/Am progressions in those tunes struck me as "Cantonish", so shuffling them into the "right" order and filling in the blanks was easy!
I finger-pick it though with a T/1p/T/2s alternating bass string style because I just can not capture that stumming rhythm
I'd give my shuttle keys if someone tabbed that out for dummies

A pal has come up with a better final C chord for that last sustained "jaynnnnnnnnnnn" that works really well.
Here it is;
E_3_
B_1_
G_0_
D_2_
A_3_
E_0_
The G note on the first string is held down by the little finger.
Enjoy
