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.

F C
There's a cold wind from the north tonight
G
Wreaking hell with all my plans
C F C
There's a rig spun out on Four-Oh-One
G
Closed it down to cars and vans
Am Em F C
We're all refugees at this doughnut shop
G
I'm surprised this call got through
F C G C
And I'm awfully glad I found you home
F G Am Em
There must be some way I can get to you
F G C
There must be some way I can get to you
F C
Well, I'm not the kind to give things up
G
When I'm so close to my goal
C F C
It's that determination brought me you
G
But there's some things beyond control
Am Em F C
I've tried every road I can think of and
G
Seems there no way to get through
F C G C
But there must be something I've not tried

There must be some way I can get to you

INSTRUMENTAL: F C G C F C G C

I can see you curled up on the couch
G
With some candles and some wine
C F C
Well, that's motivation sure enough
G
Sends a shiver down my spine
Am Em F C
It's the classic tale of mice and men
G
Somehow I should push on through
F C G C
'Cause I'm awfully tired of this truck-stop scene
F G Am Em
There must be some way I can get to you

Must be some way I can get to you
