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
