Winnipeg Lyrics

C
How's the weather in Winnipeg?
C
The broke down nags with the bandaged legs
C Dm
At a**inaboa Downs
Dm
The night we painted the town
Dm C
A dark, dark blue
C
Stolen thunder in Thunder Bay
C
Woke up knowin' that we came the wrong way
C Dm
So we turned it all around
Dm
To the cold hard sound
Dm C
The turnin' of the gears
C Dm
To the blood hard sound
Dm C
The turnin' of the years

Chorus:

F G C F
I was thinkin' of you last night
F G C F
North of the border and the Northern Lights
F G C F
One horse town with the Indian name
Em Am
And all the gentle words, I could never say
F G C F C F
Love shines in the night, in the morning its gone away
C
Cup of coffee in old Moose Jaw
C
Used to be the hideout of a bad outlaw
C Dm
Named Al Capone
Dm
His fedora on
Dm C
Walkin' through the snow
C
We headed west, then it all broke up
C
Skull-Smashed-In-Buffalo-Jump
Dm
Rockin' and a reelin'
Dm
That old buffalo feelin'
Dm C
Of fallin' through the air
C Dm
And never really knowin' how the hell
Dm C
We ended up there
Repeat Chorus

C
How's the weather in Winnipeg?
C
When the ice melts
C
On the first of May
C Dm
On those desolate streets
Dm
One old Sikh
Dm C
In a powder blue cab
C Dm
Is there an Indian name
Dm C
For the love and the trouble we've had
