[Dm] We're going to do a song that we've written about Winnipeg.
Wait, is that it?
[G] [B] All right.
[Eb] [D] I have to get it right here.
[E] JD and I are both from away.
JD is from Oshawa, Ontario.
[D] Ontario. Ontario.
Ontario.
Ontario.
And I'm from Calgary, Alberta, and we both saw the light and found our way here to Winnipeg.
And [A] I
For me, the light kept me [D] here.
The light kept you here, yes.
I was living in British Columbia for a few years before moving here.
[G] And I remember when I decided to move to Winnipeg, I strapped everything to my car,
and I was driving across the prairies, and it was the end of the summer, just Labor Day [D] weekend,
and [Am] all the bugs were out.
[D] And so every time I pulled into a gas station, I had to scrape off all the bugs from the windshield and the lights and everything.
And the guys would come out.
I'd be pumping gas.
The guys would come out and help me scrape the bugs off.
And they'd look at my plates, and they'd look at the car, and they'd say,
Well, where are you going?
I said, I'm moving to Winnipeg.
And they said, Well, [A] you must be going to school then.
I said, No, I'm actually just moving to Winnipeg.
And they said, Turn around!
Go back!
You're going the wrong way!
Because in their minds, and a lot of people out West,
they can't consider that anybody would actually want to [D] move here.
And I rolled into town at 1 o'clock in the morning.
My friend, a semi-friend of mine, lent me use of his apartment on Scott Street, just over here.
And his girlfriend, who I'd never met before, met me, let [G] me in,
helped me unload everything, and then took me to the Toten Hall.
And [D] that was my introduction to Winnipeg.
And I'm friends with [Am] those people to this day.
[D] My post office box, for the [Gm] last 19 and a half years, [D] has been across the street.
And there's [G] one of the [D] postmistresses over there.
I'm friends with all the pharmacists, too.
It's great.
I get my drugs from them.
Sure [Em] you are.
They actually do know me.
You know your [D] drugs?
The drugs, the credit union, when I arrived in town with minus [Em] $25 in my bank account,
and I went to the credit union, and they gave me a car loan,
and they got me a business loan, and they got me set up,
and they come to all of our CD release shows.
Like, that doesn't happen in a lot of communities.
So, JD and I really love Winnipeg, and this is our home.
And [D] so [A] we've written a song [D] about some of the fun things about Winnipeg.
Would you say, [G] J'Dave?
Yes.
[Am] [D] Well, there's some fun things in here.
Maybe there's some silly things in here.
There's some serious things in here, [Bb] too.
I mean, this city has got a lot of [Ab] shades, and [D]
it has touched us in so many ways.
We've touched Winnipeg, and we're pretty sure Winnipeg has touched us.
Anyway, [G] now one of the things that [D] we love about Winnipeg and the prairies in particular is how sunny it is.
It's sunny in the summertime, and it's sunny in the wintertime,
and we always say it's a dry cold.
It might be minus 35, but it's a dry cold.
And, JD, everywhere we play all over the world, JD tells people to come visit us in February.
No mosquitoes.
So, the chorus
No mosquitoes.
It's great.
It's totally true.
So, the chorus in this song is so much easier than the last song we had to sing.
The words are, it's the sun.
Cool with that?
We're going to teach it to you.
And I will apologize ahead of time.
I've been working on the French section to this song, and I haven't quite memorized it.
Our friend Andrina Thoren wrote the French to this,
and so we'll just practice a little French together halfway through.
All right, so here's the chorus.
One, two, three.
It's the sun.
It's the sun.
Okay, Ross.
In the heart of the continents,
ancient rhythm flows through the [G] land,
carved the trails that led me [D] here.
All the songs that called us out,
old traditions and word of [G] mouth,
heard it calling from the east to the [D] west.
[A] Took my roots on the old highway,
[Gm] traveled far in about two or three days,
[A] wrote a song with a new [G] sound.
In a big van.
It's the [D] socials at the hall,
watching farmers play their ball.
It's a Sunday night cruise [G] down on Portage [D] Avenue.
It's the northern lights.
[G] It's the snow plows [D] at night.
It's your parka and your toque.
It's the way you wear your boots.
And it's the sun.
It's the sun.
It's the rivers of life from the north end of town.
It's the gathering place.
This is Treaty One ground.
It's Remembering Riel.
[G] It's that tasty [D] Creme Royale.
It's the gateway to the west.
It's Métis English and French.
And it's the sun.
It's the sun.
[A] All right.
Come on, Zuma.
[Am] [A]
Who is La Salsa?
Salsa Maker.
[G] Easy, easy.
It's Mr.
Young [D] and the Guess Who.
It's mosquitoes and canoes.
It's the harvest in the field.
It's another record deal.
It's the Jets winning gold.
[G] It's always [D] 35 below.
It's the music and the vibe.
Feel the spirit comes alive.
And it's the sun on the berry making up my soul.
I was stumbling.
[G] But now I [D] know.
It's the sun on the berry making up my soul.
But now I know.
It's the sun on the berry making up my soul.
I was lost on the land.
But now I know.
It's the sun on the berry making up my soul.
I was lost on the land.
But now I know.
In the heart of the continent, ancient rhythm flows through the land.
Carve the trails that led me here.
[G] [D]
All the songs are called a shout.
Old traditions and word of [G] mouth.
[D] Heard it calling from the east to the west.
Wait, is that it?
[G] [B] All right.
[Eb] [D] I have to get it right here.
[E] JD and I are both from away.
