Capo 2
[Intro]
Em Em C D Em x2
[Verse 1]
Em C D
Well, I go by the name of Henri LeBlanc
Em Bm
And trapping is my trade.
Em C D
Now, my daddy was French and my momma was a squaw;
Em D Em
I was born in the hem-lock shade.
[Chorus]
C Am
Forty-four years in the northern woods
G Bm
From Quebec to Hudson’s Bay,
Em C D
Forty-four years in the northern woods
Em D Em
Where the bear and the bea-ver stay.
Transition
Em Em C D Em
[Verse 2]
Em C D
Well, it ain’t very warm in November’s storms;
Em Bm
Still, it’s off to the traps I’ll go
Em C D
And the whistle of the jay in the trees on the way
Em D Em
Breaks the hush of the fall-ing snow.
[Chorus]
C Am
From my piney log shack with my traps on my back
G Bm
To the hills of evergreen,
Em C D
Em
The music that I know is the north wind’s blow
Em D Em
And the cry of the wolve-rine.
Em Em C D Em
[Verse 3]
Em C D
When it’s early in the spring and the high geese sing
Em Bm
Heading up to the northern Grounds,
Em C D
When it’s early in the spring and the river breaks up
Em D Em
With a moaning, groan-ing sound
[Chorus]
C Am
Then it’s off on the road with my furs in a load
G Bm
For the ladies around the town.
Em C D
Well, they’ll look very nice for a very fine price
Em D Em
And be warm when the wind blows down.
[Bridge]
G D
And my life goes along like a song and a river
C D
Flowing down along the way.
G D
Through the months and the years and the smiles and the tears
C D
I find a friend in every day.
[Verse 4] (In French)
Em C D
Je suis connu par le nom LeBlanc
Em Bm
Et je suis un trappeur.
Em C D
Fils de francais, ma mère était indienne,
Em D Em
Je suis né sous les épinettes.
[Chorus]
C Am
Quarante-quatre ans dans les bois du nord
G Bm
De Québec jusqu’à bay d’Hudson,
Em C D
Quarante-quatre ans dans les bois du nord
Em D Em
Où se trouve le grand élan.
[Chorus] (Back in English)
C Am
Forty-four years in the northern woods
G Bm
From Quebec to Hudson’s Bay,
Em C D
Forty-four years in the northern woods
Em D Em
Where the bear and the bea-ver stay.
