Canoe Song chords by Peter Mayer
Guitar chords with lyrics
- Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)
Verse 1: G I like to make em out of birch bark skins D G It keeps me dry and my stuff within C G A little pine tar, nice and thin D Makes a boat float just right G I like to brag about the perfect stroke D G I own a paddle made of aged oak C G Every maneuver I can do by rote G D G But there s one thing I don t like
Chorus: G C G Don t like to put the paddle in the water G C G That would be a crazy thing to do G C D Em I don t want to be no fishes fodder Em G D G I don t want to tip in that canoe G C G I d rather be a dreamer on the shoreline G C G Than a hero at the bottom of the lake G C D Em I never put the paddle in the water Em G D G That would be a dangerous mistake Verse 2: G I sing Allouette in Francais D G Just like the French in Hudson Bay C G I smoke a pipe and drink Beaujolais D And I tell a tall tale or two G I know every river and portage D G And in an emergency, I know triage C G I smell a storm like a weather cock D G But there s one thing I won t do Chorus: G C G Don t like to put the paddle in the water G C G That would be a crazy thing to do G C D Em I don t want to be no fishes fodder Em G D G I don t want to tip in that canoe G C G I d rather be a dreamer on the shoreline G C G Than a hero at the bottom of the lake G C D Em I never put the paddle in the water Em G D G That would be a dangerous mistake Bridge: G I know the tensile strength of each one G Fiberglass or aluminum G I make plans and study maps G Draw lines across the world and back G I like to train on weight machines G Carbo-load and high protein G I m a fanatic, it would seem G But baby, I m no fool Chorus: G C G Don t like to put the paddle in the water G C G That would be a crazy thing to do G C D Em I don t want to be no fishes fodder Em G D G I don t want to tip in that canoe G C G I d rather be a dreamer on the shoreline G C G Than a hero at the bottom of the lake G C D Em I never put the paddle in the water Em G D G That would be a dangerous mistake
