[B]
[F#] Late [E] afternoon, another day is nearly [B] done A [F#]
darker [B] gray is breaking through a lighter
one A [F#]
thousand [B] sharpened elbows in the underground
[C#]
[F#] That hollow [E] hurried sound, [G#m] feet [F#] on [E] polished floor
[G#m] And in [F#] the dollar [E] store, [G#m] the clerk [F#] is closing [C#] up
And counting loonies trying [B] not to say, I hate Winnipeg
[F#] The driver [B] checks the mirror seven minutes late
The
[F#] crowded [E] riders restlessness [B] enunciates The [F#] guests who [E] sucked the jets were lousy [B] anyway
The
[F#] same route [E] every day
[G#m] And in [F#] the turning [E] lane, [G#m] someone [F#]
[E] stalled again
[G#m] He's [F#] talking to [C#] himself, and hears the price of gas [B] repeat his phrase
I hate Winnipeg
[F#] [E]

[F#] [E]

[F#] [B]
[G#m] And up [F#] above [B] us all,
[G#m] leaning [F#] [B] into sky [G#m] A golden [B] business boy [G#m] will watch the North [E] end die
[G#m] And sing I [F#] love this [C#] town, then let his arcing [B] wrecking ball proclaim
I [E]
hate [F#]
[B] Winnipeg
