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 - Glory Bound
CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO: C F G C F G
C
Johnny Mack lived near Maple Creek
F
He was long and lean and tough
C
A level head and a steady hand
F
And a wizard with the puck
C G F
And once across the blue line, oh
G
He'd never let you down
F G F
You could tell by the look in his coal black eyes
G C F G C F G
That boy was glory bound
C
He could bring the home town to its feet
F
With a goal in overtime
C
The scouts had pegged him sure enough
F
It was just a matter of time
C G
If there was any justice in this world
F G
He'd be picked in the second round
F G C F
'Cause he had the goods, there was no denying
G C F G C F G
That boy was glory bound
C
One afternoon before a game
F
I stopped by Johnny's place
C
With my father's car and a feeling in my heart
F
That night we'd take first place
C G F
There was something that he'd left behind
G
He'd fetch it back in town
F G C F
I never dreamt it at the time
G C
That fate would strike him down
BRIDGE:
Am G C
Ohh, we phoned the Mounties when he didn't show
Am G C
They found him in a ditch between here and Shaunavon
G
Roof caved in and it's fifty below
F G
Sirens wail and the blizzard blows
INTERLUDE: G C F G C F G
C
Oh, Johnny died young, but I grew old
F
And since that time I've come to think
C
When I see his name engraved on trophies
F
Or his picture in a case in the Kinsmen's rink
C G F
He somehow slipped the bonds of time
G
He's gained himself renown
F G C F
And I've started on that slow slide back
G C
But he's forever glory bound
F G C F
And I've started on that slow slide back
G C F
But he's forever glory bound
