If You Could Read My Mind is my favorite, too. I remember trying to play it on the guitar when I was a teenager (and the results weren't good!)
Then in the late '90s, I was listening to it one night, with guitar in hand, and it just came to me. I said, "Is that it? That's it? It's simple! Why did it take 25 years to figure it out?"
It's a good example of the distinct Lightfoot sound... little chord variations that add so much to his music,
