Biography:
James Keelaghan is a Juno award-winning Canadian folk singer-songwriter born in Calgary, Alberta, now based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Many of his songs, such as "Kiri's Piano", about the interment of Japanese Canadians, "October 70", about the FLQ crisis, are inspired by events and figures in Canadian history. Known for his lilting baritone voice, his driving rhythm guitar, and a keen sense of scene and narrative, Keelaghan’s music bridges traditional folk music with Canadiana.

James Keelaghan - Dance As You Go
CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: G D Am D G D Am D Em
G
One day on the rails, at the age of seventeen
C Em7 Am
Hungry for horizons, I wandered off to dream
G
Now I'm feeling settled, never lonely or alone
C Em7 Am G
When I think about the places I can freely call my home
CHORUS:
Dance as you go, dance as you go
C Em7 Am G
And you find your heart is lighter on the dark and dusty road
Dance as you go, dance as you go
C Em7 Am Em
And you find your feet are lighter, get you there before you know____
G
The mornings when I didn't watch the light take to the skies
C Em7 Am
The world entire would turn to grey and right before my eyes
G
Pressure took to building and I was nearly cooked
C Em7 Am G
'Til I realised simplicity was what I overlooked
CHORUS:
Dance as you go, dance as you go
C Em7 Am G
And you find your heart is lighter on the dark and dusty road
Dance as you go, dance as you go
C Em7 Am Em
And you find your feet are lighter, get you there before you know____
INSTRUMENTAL: G D C D G Em C D G Em C D C G
C D G Em C D G Em C D C G C G
Em D G C Em D C G Em D G C G D C G
Time rages ever onward, act of life is drawn
C Em7 Am
And deeper still the well of days that I can draw upon
G
Birdsong on the breeze and a smile upon my face
C Em7 Am G
Life is full of treasures no riches could replace, so
CHORUS:
Dance as you go, dance as you go
C Em7 Am G
And you find your heart is lighter on the dark and dusty road
Dance as you go, dance as you go
C Em7 Am
And you find your feet are lighter, get you there before you know___
CHORUS:
G
Dance as you go, ohh, dance as you go
C Em7 Am G
And you find your heart is lighter on the dark and dusty road
Dance as you go, dance as you go
C Em7 Am Em D-G
And you find your feet are lighter, get you there before you know____
