[Verse 1]
 
C              G
Look for me another day
                     D
I feel that I could change
                     Am
I feel that I could change
C                            G
There's a sudden joy that's like
                  D
A fish, a moving light;
             Am
I thought I saw it
C                       G
Rowing on the lakes of Canada
 
D x 2
 
[Chorus 1]
 
            Am                  G
Oh laughing man, what have you won?
                Em             C
Don't tell me what cannot be done
           Am                G
My little mouth, my winter lungs
               Em              C
Don't tell me what cannot be done
           Am                  C
cannot be done di da di da di da
                G            D

[Verse 2]
 
C                      G
Walking in the circle of a flashlight
          D                     Am
Someone starts to sing, to join in
 C                       G
Talk of loneliness in quiet voices
      D                    Am
I am shy but you can reach me
 C                      G      D x1
Rowing on the lakes of Canada
 C                      G      D x2
Rowing on the lakes of Canada
 
             Am                 G
Oh laughing man, what have you won?
               Em             C
Don't tell me what cannot be done
           Am               G
My little mouth, my winter lungs
               Em             C
Don't tell me what cannot be done
           Am                  C
