Chords for Dave Gunning with JP Cormier - Tribute to John Allen Cameron.MPG

_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ Pat, you're a ninja.
A sound ninja.
_ _ _ _ _ So [Bm] I knew that if I was going to do a tribute to John Allen Cameron that I'd have to try
to learn to pick a tune.
John Allen was, one of the things he was [B] most known for was picking bagpipe tunes, [F] the fiddle
tunes on a 12 string guitar with a thumb pick.
Why would [A] anyone even want to do that?
He was certainly [B] the first guy to do it, the only guy to do it.
So I knew I'd have to [E] try to at [A] least learn how to pick a couple of the tunes.
[B] _ [Bm] I want to tell a little story too.
John Allen, his first career path wasn't [B] to become a musician.
He just about became a priest.
He was weeks away from being ordained.
[F#]
He was settling with the old blade fathers in Ottawa.
He was having his doubts.
He didn't think it was right for him.
He wanted to play music.
_ [G] And of course the father said, are you sure son?
You've come this far.
I'm sure.
[B] It's not the life for me.
And so they released him.
On the evening that he was leaving, he wanted to say one final goodbye to all his fellow seminarians.
So they all gathered [F#] in a room.
And the last thing that John Allen Cameron said to his fellow seminarians when he left
there was, well, fellas, it was certainly good to get to know you, but I'll be a father
before some of you fellas.
