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 - Hope Princeton Road
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: C
It's always at sunset, the Hope Princeton Road
G
You come to mind and that lightens my load
The darkness is gathering the clouds overhead
C
I'm thinking about you and something you said
F
There's something you said that stands out in my mind
C
You said I was lonely, that made me unkind
F
You said I should buck up and shoulder the load
C G
Those words made some sense on the Hope Princeton Road
C
It's always at sunset, the Hope Princeton Road
G
Spirits are high, but the ceiling is low
I'm anticipating your bright smiling face
C
The pleasures awaiting me inside your place
F
Well, inside your place there'll be food and a drink
C
Well, something cool, maybe a tonic I think
F
Or maybe some tunes on your new stereo
C G
To counter the hum of the Hope Princeton Road
INSTRUMENTAL: F C F C G
C
It's always at sunset, the Hope Princeton Road
G
My heart beat is racing, my speed is controlled
I know that you're waiting an hour ahead
C
But this part is endless, you've oft heard it said
F
You've oft heard it said that life is a road
C
It turns and it straightens, it's fast and it's slow
F
But all that's no comfort, for right now I know
C G
My life is contained on the Hope Princeton Road
C
It's always at sunset, the Hope Princeton Road
G
You come to mind and that lightens my load
The darkness is gathering the clouds overhead
C
I'm thinking about you and something you said
