Canadian Bands From The 1980s
On The Acoustic

Dunrobin's Gone is found on the Brave Belt II album but I don't believe the song was a single back in 1972

The band pre-dated BTO and was post The Guess Who.

This one is played in standard tuning with a root down up down up down up and repeat rhythm pattern. Some lead required with the chords D, G, A, Bm, Gbm, Em and an A7.

Hey You was one of two singles from BTO's 1975 album Four Wheel Drive.

The song was #1 in Canada, #2 in South Africa and #21 in the US.

Last Song was a single 1972 hit for the Canadian group Edward Bear (not a person) and reached #3 in the US and #1 in Canada.

The song is in the key of Gb but for my vocals I'm at a capo 3rd fret playing a root down up down up down up and repeat rhythm pattern. No lead just a little riff in the beginning and played in standard tuning.

Takin Care Of Business was a #3 hit in Canada and a #12 in the US when it was released as a single in 1974.

The track can be found on the Bachman Turner Overdrive II album.

Two For The Show was a single from the Trooper 1976 album of the same name. The track reach #32 on the Canadian Rock charts.

I play this one in standard tuning with a down down up down up down up rhythm pattern. The chords you'll need G, Bm, Am7, C and a D. And yeah there is a bit of lead work in this one.

You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet is a song by a Canadian rock band called Bachman–Turner Overdrive (BTO). Randy Bachman wrote the song for the band's third album called Not Fragile in 1974. They released it as a single that same year, with another song called "Free Wheelin'" on the flip side.

The song became really popular, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and also on the Canadian RPM chart in November 1974. It was their biggest hit in the United Kingdom too, reaching number 2 on the UK Singles Chart. They also had another song called "Roll on Down the Highway" that did pretty well in the UK, though not as big as this one.
