Ontario
By Jon Bryant

Capo 2nd Fret

 I watched his streaming cafe live performance to tab this. There's a lot of hammer ons and finger picking
you can pick up from watching or listening to the live performance to make this sound good for acoustic since
the album recording has an electric guitar doing the intro melody.

Verse:
G+G
I heard the wind today
    G/BG/B
Telling me to go
C majorC
I felt the train depart
    C/BC/B
To take me from the coast
       A minorAm
I watched my city sleep
C majorC             D*       G+G  C majorC  G+G
Like a restless soul with nowhere else to go


G+G
Sorrows go on for years
     G/BG/B
Like the tears in widows eyes
C majorC
Lessons all stay the same
     C/BC/B
While the days give in to nights
        A minorAm
I watched the oceans rise
C majorC            D*        G+G  C majorC  G+G
And I asked myself "How can I leave this town?"

Chorus:
      D*  G+G   C majorC  E minorEm
And I can feel those winds blow,
 C majorC   G+G
So many roads
     D*
Of Ontario
    D*  G+G  C majorC  E minorEm
Gotta breathe in real slow
 C majorC      G+G
Where will I go?
(C majorC)   E minorEm
God only knows

So far, so long
(C majorC)   E minorEm
God only knows

Verse:
G+G
It's crowding the empty streets
   G/BG/B
And every champagne glass
C majorC
A augmentedA lingering voice that speaks
    C/BC/B
Lest I repeat the past
      A minorAm
Looking at empty streets
C majorC          D*        G+G  C majorC  G+G
And I wonder if I'll make it out this time


      E minorEm
I want you closer now

In the messages I send
G+G
But I'm watching our candles burn
     G/BG/B
Depleting at the ends
C/BC/B      A minorAm
I'm looking at everyone
C majorC           D*       G+G  C majorC  G+G
Telling me there's no better time to run


Chorus:

      D*  G+G   C majorC  E minorEm
And I can feel those winds blow,
C majorC     G+G
So many roads
     D*
Of Ontario
    D*  G+G  C majorC  E minorEm
Gotta breathe in real slow
 C majorC      G+G
Where will I go?
(C majorC)    E minorEm
God only knows
 C majorC     G+G
So far, so long
(C majorC)    E minorEm
God only knows


Bridge:
   C majorC
If I go
     B7B7          E minorEm (walk up to G+G)
There is one thing you should know

This land is not my home
C majorC          D*   G+G C majorC G+G
I'm leaving for the coast


Chorus:
      D*  G+G   C majorC  E minorEm
And I can feel those winds blow,
C majorC     G+G
So many roads
