Biography:
Sam Roberts is a Canadian rock singer-songwriter, based in Montreal, Quebec. His 2001 debut release, The Inhuman Condition became one of the bestselling independent releases in Quebec and Canadian music history.
Born in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, he attended Loyola High School and McGill University. Roberts formed the band William in 1993. The band's name was changed to Northstar in 1996. Although the band gained some notice in independent rock circles, they couldn't break through to a national audience, and broke up in the late 1990s.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I put this together because it's a great song but nobody made it right as of yet.
This may not be 100% right but it sounds right to me when playing along.
Standard Tuning
I find playing the bar chords sounds more accurate than the basic way of playing
these chords at the top of the neck. Your choice.
(no matter how many times I edit this to put the chords directly above the right
words it moves everything over to the right when I save it. You'll have to just
listen and hear when the chords change. I screwed around with the 1st Verse and
Chorus to align things correctly {pain in the butt} but the rest is all over the place)

I'll take on all of your sorrows for mine my dear, till the
days run clear, until they start to shine, coming through
your window, head on your pillow, the sight is honey for
my mind girl and I've been digging, ever deeper, this
love gets easier the more it's sung to, the more it rings
true, the more I find the breath
to help sing with these miner's lungs
I'll take on all of your sorrows for mine my dear, till the
days run clear, until they start to shine, coming through
your window, head on your pillow, the sight is honey for
my mind
