Capo 5th Fret
 
 
[Intro]
Dm   F   C   G   x2
 
Dm
 
[Verse 1]
F                   C
Look for me another day
                    G
I feel that I could change
                    Dm
I feel that I could change
F                           C
There's a sudden joy that's like
                 G
a fish, a moving light;
                Dm
I thought I saw it
F                      C     G
Rowing on the lakes of Canada
 
[Chorus]
            Dm
Oh, laughing man
              C
What have you won?
              Am             F
Don't tell me what cannot be done
          Dm               C
My little mouth, my winter lungs
              Am             F
Don't tell me what cannot be done
               Dm               F          C    G   Dm   x2
Cannot be done di-da-di-da de da da da de da...
 
[Verse 2]
F                     C
Walking in the circle of a flashlight
        G                       Dm
Someone starts to sing, to join in
F                     C
Talk of loneliness in quiet voices
     G                     Dm
I am shy but you can reach me
F                      C     G
Rowing on the lakes of Canada
Dm                     F    C   G
Rowing on the lakes of Canada
 
[Chorus]
            Dm
Oh, laughing man
              C
What have you won?
              Am             F
Don't tell me what cannot be done
          Dm               C
My little mouth, my winter lungs
              Am             F
Don't tell me what cannot be done
          Dm                   F          C     G
Cannot be done di-da-di-da de da da da de da...
 
[Part 2]
   Dm                  C
So look for me another time,
                Am
give me another day
                    F
I feel that I could change
 
   Dm                  C
So look for me another time,
                Am
give me another day
                    F
I feel that I could change
 
[Outro]
F                      C    G
Rowing on the lakes of Canada
F                      C    G
Rowing on the lakes of Canada
 
F                      C    G
Rowing on the lakes of Canada
F                      C    G
Rowing on the lakes of Canada
 
F                      C    G
Rowing on the lakes of Canada
F                      C    G
Rowing on the lakes of Canada
 
F                      C    G
Rowing on the lakes of Canada
F                      C    G
Rowing on the lakes of Canada
