Verse:
Am        C                 F
Honore is huddled near East 53rd
G             C
His life in a pile, not too far from the curb
Am                C                       F
It's come down to this place but he's not deterred
G         C                 G
Honore is huddled near East 53rd

Verse:
Am         C                      F
And Honore sits on the lower East Side
G               C
He's lost about everything except for his pride
Am           C                  F
A man with a vision the visions denied
G         C                  G
And Honore sits on the lower East Side

Verse:
Am               C      Em
They used to say Honore wasn't all there
     Am             C          G               Em
He'd a penchant for speeches and thousand-yard stares
     F            G                C
They said that he fought when some half-breeds rebelled
  Am                             G       Am
Sometimes he would weep and he'd whisper Riel

Verse:
Am            C                       F
Now Honore is buried in some pauper's grave
G                      C
Of his archives, there wasn't much to be saved
Am C                     F
49 boxes of books hauled away
G                   C                        G
And a deed for some land Near a place called Duck Lake

Verse:
Am             C                  F
And Honore was old  he said so it seemed
G               C
The last act of life left him far from his dreams
Am           C                    F
They took it away and it can't be redeemed
G              C
And Honore was all he said so it seemed

Am               C      Em

He'd a penchant for speeches and thousand-yard stares
     F            G                C
They said that he fought when some half-breeds rebelled
  Am                             G       Am
Sometimes he would weep and he'd whisper Riel
  Am                             G       Am
Sometimes he would weep and he'd whisper Riel
