Ontario chords by Jon Bryant

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.

Intro:
D*-G-C  Em   4x  (hammer on C and Em to Em7)

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


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


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

Interlude:  G C G   C   Am  C/B  C  C/B  G C G


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


            Em
I want you closer now

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


Chorus:

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


Bridge:
     C
If I go
          B7                    Em  (walk up to G)
There is one thing you should know
G                    A7
This land is not my home
C                   D*     G  C  G
I'm leaving for the coast


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

God only knows, oooohhhhh  8x
