| 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 - Written by Hap Wilson
and Stephanie Aykroyd. Published by Boston
Mills Press, 2004.

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!!
