EADGBE
G 320003
F 133211
C x32010

INTRO: C G F (2x)

C G F
There is a town in north Ontario,
C G F
With dream comfort memory to spare,
C G F
And in my mind I still need a place to go,
C G F
All my changes were there.


Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.

Leave us (spoken ?)

Helpless, helpless, helpless
Baby can you hear me now?
The chains are locked and tied across the door,
Baby, sing with me somehow.

SOLO:

This is an example how you can put a sort of solo in the song. I just tabbed out some
verse notes. Maybe you like it. Play this very concentrating with a lot of tremolo.

Helpless, helpless, helpless.
Helpless, helpless, helpless.
Helpless, helpless, helpless.
Helpless, helpless, helpless.
