{VERSE} 

G Em7 x2 

{G}Up in {Em7}Manitoba
The {C}sky was very {Am}blue 
The {C}people were a {Am}few

Once I heard a wailing sound 
The sky had turned to red 
So I got up from my bed 
And I wandered far from town

	{G}I have {C}seen the face of God 
	And I was not {D}afraid 
	{G}I have {C}seen the {Em}face of {C}God 
	And {C}I have {D}dearly {G}paid   Em7 

{VERSE} 

The darkness came right down on me 
There were no more lights to follow 
So I slept inside the hollow 
Of a dead and fallen tree 

Did you know three days I tried 
To wake myself?  But, no 
My flesh had turned to snow 
And i thought that I had died 

        {PRE CHORUS}

        {SOLO} - over Chorus chords 

And though I had it rough 
They got me home in time 
They gave me homemade wine 
But it was not enough 

The cold had made me dumb 
And I was sent away 
These walls are here today 
For fifty years and some 

	{Chorus} x2 

 G Em   G Em   G Em   G 


{OUTRO} - over Chorus x2 (play Bm-D after first time) 

End on G
