Sufjan Stevens Chords & Tabs

Version: 1 Type: Chords

The Lakes Of Canada Chords

   
Originally by The Innocence Mission
but personally, I like Sufjan's cover better.
I tabbed it from this video that is filmed well
too:  http://youtube.com/watch?v=uceNZtKZAnc
here is the guitar tab for the key he does it in the video
the second half of the lyrics is in banjo tab.
I just split the type of tab it is so you can have the full
lyrics and so I didnt have to put the full song up twice.

enjoy, this is a fun song to play.

Guitar:
Standard tuning and all, capo on 4 please.

F                   C
Look for me another day.
                    G
I feel that I could change,
                    Dm
I feel that I could change.
F                           C
There's a sudden joy that's like
                    G
a fish, a moving light;
                    Dm 
I thought I saw it
F                       C
rowing on the lakes of Canada
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/sufjan_stevens/the_lakes_of_canada_crd.html ]
            Dm                 C
Oh laughing man, what have you won?
              Am             F 
Don't tell me what cannot be done.
          Dm               C
My little mouth, my winter lungs,
              Am             F
don't tell me what can't be done.


Banjo:
Standard tuning and all, capo on 2 please.


C                     G 
Walking in the circle of a flashlight
        D                       Am 
someone starts to sing, to join in.
C                     G 
Talk of loneliness in quiet voices.
     D                          Am  
I am shy but you can reach me.
C                         G
Rowing on the lakes of Canada,
C                         G
Rowing on the lakes of Canada,

            C                  G 
Oh laughing man, what have you won?
              Em                 Am
Don't tell me what cannot be done.
            C                G
My little mouth, my winter lungs,
              Em                 Am
don't tell me what cannot be done.
