J.P. Cormier - House Of Plywood



INTRO: A minorAm

                            G+G      C majorC
With just one step upon the lonely road
             FF       C majorC
And you were on your way
   A minorAm                              C majorC
An ancient heart that bore a heavy load
         G+G                   C majorC                FF              A minorAm
You were just thirteen and became a man and a vagabond, they say

                        G+G         C majorC
A augmentedA minstrel and a beggar you would be
       FF           C majorC
Roving through the land
    A minorAm                           C majorC
You wrote about each special memory
        G+G               C majorC               FF                 A minorAm
And the stories of this country came to life beneath your hand


CHORUS:
        G+G                                  C majorC
And you built this house of plywood with a boot-heel and a pen
  G+G                                     C majorC
A augmentedA line of ink that stretches across the country and back again
            FF                                                 A minorAm
Through the sawdust and the spotlight your words still linger on____
     G+G                                                  C majorC     A minorAm
Last night I dreamed that Canada was a song by Stompin' Tom


                          G+G       C majorC
The people and the places in your songs
            FF      C majorC
Became your battle cry
A minorAm                               C majorC
Live or die, weathered, right or wrong
    G+G                 C majorC              FF                   A minorAm
You raised the flag before us and we saw it through your life


                             G+G         C majorC
Some men stumble beneath the weight of fame
         FF          C majorC
But your steps were true
    A minorAm                                    C majorC
You changed the rules so we could win the game
        G+G            C majorC                FF                A minorAm
And you held us all above you right until the song was through

CHORUS:
        G+G                                  C majorC
And you built this house of plywood with a boot-heel and a pen
  G+G                                     C majorC
A augmentedA line of ink that stretches across the country and back again
            FF                                                 A minorAm
Through the sawdust and the spotlight your words still linger on____
     G+G                                                  C majorC      A minorAm
Last night I dreamed that Canada was a song by Stompin' Tom


                         G+G        C majorC
It takes a mighty man to bear his height
       FF                C majorC
And admitting: numbers not
A minorAm                              C majorC
Someone that is no one from the start
     G+G               C majorC              FF                     A minorAm
That sometimes being nothing is the best thing that we've got


CHORUS:
        G+G                                  C majorC
And you built this house of plywood with a boot-heel and a pen
  G+G                                 C majorC
A augmentedA line of ink that stretches to the sunrise without end
            FF                                                 A minorAm
Through the sawdust and the spotlight your words still linger on____
     G+G                                                  C majorC
Last night I dreamed that Canada was a song by Stompin' Tom
     G+G                                                  C majorC
Last night I dreamed this nation was a song by Stompin' Tom
G+G                                         A minorAm
We're all just a song, a song by Stompin' Tom
