| Lakes of Canada - Innocence Mission - Manitoba lakes pics |
 |
This is a beautiful song by Innocence Mission -
Lakes of Canada.
My home province, Manitoba, is known as a prairie
province but nothing could be further from the
truth. It is really a maritime province. Water,
water everywhere. Salt water and freshwater. Most
of Manitoba is lakes. 100,000 of them to be
approximate. Big ones (larger than Lake Erie) and
small ones (smaller than Lake Erie)
So even though the song is Lakes of Canada, the
pictures are of lakes of Manitoba.
Epilogue: Canadians are notoriously insecure and
Manitobans are no exception. We would never write
a song like Lakes of Canada - unless someone
drowned or froze to death in it. So it comes as no
surprise that the Innocence Mission come from
Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Damn, I forgot to credit Tom Canada for my
favourite pic - a fellow Bomber cliff jumping into
West Hawk Lake. (The lake a meteor built - from
Tom's blog - Tom Canada's Canada.
AND I also forgot the photos 'canoeing through a
wildfire' and a 'satisfied, pipe smoking paddler'
at day's end. Both from Wilderness Manitoba -

this is a wonderful song - I know I have not got
all the chords right but hey ho daddyo - it's not
far off. check out sufjan stevens playing this on
a roof with his banjo on youtube - incredible
I use the chords on the fretplay site, just google
'lakes of canada chords'. I play the Dm 000231 and
hit the 5th then 4th strings for the base notes. I
play the F 033210 and hit again the 5th then 4th
strings for the base notes, Then the C I play
332010 with the 6th then 5th strings for the base
notes, then I play the G 320000 again 6th then 5th
strings base notes.. hope that helps!!
