INTRO: Am
G C
With just one step upon the lonely road
F C
And you were on your way
Am C
An ancient heart that bore a heavy load
G C F Am
You were just thirteen and became a man and a vagabond, they say
G C
A minstrel and a beggar you would be
F C
Roving through the land
Am C
You wrote about each special memory
G C F Am
And the stories of this country came to life beneath your hand
CHORUS:
G C
And you built this house of plywood with a boot-heel and a pen
G C
A line of ink that stretches across the country and back again
F Am
Through the sawdust and the spotlight your words still linger on____
G C Am
Last night I dreamed that Canada was a song by Stompin' Tom
G C
The people and the places in your songs
F C
Became your battle cry
Am C
Live or die, weathered, right or wrong
G C F Am
You raised the flag before us and we saw it through your life
G C
Some men stumble beneath the weight of fame
F C
But your steps were true
Am C
You changed the rules so we could win the game
G C F Am
And you held us all above you right until the song was through
CHORUS:
G C
And you built this house of plywood with a boot-heel and a pen
G C
A line of ink that stretches across the country and back again
F Am
Through the sawdust and the spotlight your words still linger on____

Last night I dreamed that Canada was a song by Stompin' Tom
G C
It takes a mighty man to bear his height
F C
And [admitting] numbers not
Am C
Someone that is no one from the start
G C F Am
That sometimes being nothing is the best thing that we've got
CHORUS:
G C
And you built this house of plywood with a boot-heel and a pen
G C
A line of ink that stretches to the sunrise without end
F Am
Through the sawdust and the spotlight your words still linger on____

We're all just a song, a song by Stompin' Tom
