Winnipeg chords by Tom Russell

Chords with lyrics

Verse
C majorC
How's the weather in Winnipeg?
C majorC
The broke down nags with the bandaged legs
C majorC DmDm
At Assinaboa Downs
DmDm
The night we painted the town
DmDm      C majorC
A augmentedA dark, dark blue
C majorC
Stolen thunder in Thunder Bay
C majorC
Woke up knowin' that we came the wrong way
C majorC   DmDm
So we turned it all around
DmDm
To the cold hard sound
DmDm         C majorC
The turnin' of the gears
C majorC   DmDm
To the blood hard sound
DmDm         C majorC
The turnin' of the years

FF   G+G     C majorC    FF
I was thinkin' of you last night
FF      G+G       C majorC    FF
North of the border and the Northern Lights
FF     G+G       C majorC   FF
One horse town with the Indian name
  E minorEm              A minorAm
And all the gentle words, I could never say
   FF              G+G        C majorC  FF  C majorC  FF
Love shines in the night, in the morning its gone away

Verse
C majorC
Cup of coffee in old Moose Jaw
C majorC
Used to be the hideout of a bad outlaw
C majorC   DmDm
Named Al Capone
DmDm
His fedora on
DmDm         C majorC
Walkin' through the snow
C majorC
We headed west, then it all broke up
C majorC
Skull-Smashed-In-Buffalo-Jump
DmDm
Rockin' and a reelin'
DmDm
That old buffalo feelin'
DmDm           C majorC
Of fallin' through the air
C majorC  DmDm
And never really knowin' how the hell
DmDm     C majorC
We ended up there

FF   G+G     C majorC    FF
I was thinkin' of you last night
FF      G+G       C majorC    FF

Bridge
C majorC
How's the weather in Winnipeg?
C majorC
When the ice melts
C majorC
On the first of May
C majorC    DmDm
On those desolate streets
DmDm
One old Sikh
DmDm        C majorC
In a powder blue cab
C majorC      DmDm
Is there an Indian name
DmDm                 C majorC
For the love and the trouble we've had...?
