Biography:
James Keelaghan is a Juno award-winning Canadian folk singer-songwriter born in Calgary, Alberta, now based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Many of his songs, such as "Kiri's Piano", about the interment of Japanese Canadians, "October 70", about the FLQ crisis, are inspired by events and figures in Canadian history. Known for his lilting baritone voice, his driving rhythm guitar, and a keen sense of scene and narrative, Keelaghan’s music bridges traditional folk music with Canadiana.

James Keelaghan - What's For You
## NOTE: ~ ~ = Walk-Down from C to Am ##
CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO: G C G D (4x)
G C G D
I've been taking stock and I've been taking time
G C G D
I've been thinking about the ones I've left behind
G C G D
One step for the future, another for the past
G C G D G C G D
I've been steady walking, enjoying going nowhere fast
CHORUS:
Em D G
What's for you won't go by you
C ~ ~ Am
If you just take it slow
Em D G
Keep one eye on the sky
Am C
And keep one on the road___
INTERLUDE: G C G D G C G D
G C G D
I've been thinking about the ones who can't be here
G C G D
Every drop I'm drinking seems to draw them near
G C G D
One shot for my father, another for my son
G C G D G C G D
One to keep the ghosts at bay 'til the new day comes
CHORUS:
Em D G
What's for you won't go by you
C ~ ~ Am
If you just take it slow
Em D G
Keep one eye on the sky
Am C
And keep one on the road___
INSTRUMENTAL: G C G D G C G D G C G D G C G D
G C G D
I've been running this highway, I've searched high and low
G C G D
It seems that I find something everywhere I go
G C G D
One's the hand of friendship, one's the open door
G C G D G C G D
One's the joy of never knowing what I'm heading for
CHORUS:
Em D G
What's for you won't go by you
C ~ ~ Am
If you just take it slow
Em D G
Keep one eye on the sky
Am C
And keep one on the road__

What's for you won't go by you
