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 - My Blood
INTRO: G Em Am C G Em Am D G
Em
There are people in the world tonight who are weeping 'cause they're glad
Am C
Their war songs all are happy, their love songs all are sad
G Em
People ache and then be there, then always wish them well
Am D G
They'll love you like a brother back, then fight amongst themselves
CHORUS:
Em Bm Am
And it's my blood running through their rivers
Em Bm Am
My blood running through their pains
C Dsus4 G C
My blood mixing with the whiskey in the jar
Am C Em C G
My blood washing through their veins______
Em
They always drink the parting glass and leave the shamrock shores
Am C
That's why you find them flocking home with open arms and doors
G Em
They miss their native country like mothers miss their sons
Am D G
They'll sing all night of going back, but that day never comes
CHORUS:
Em Bm Am
And it's my blood running through their rivers
Em Bm Am
My blood running through their pains
C Dsus4 G C
My blood mixing with the whiskey in the jar

My blood running through their pains
C Dsus4 G C
My blood mixing with the whiskey in the jar
Am C Em C G
My blood washing through their veins______
Em
Their loving land was never mine, to missing call my own
Am C
Their histories and struggles are not the ones I've known
G Em
But I've worn their scars with pride enough and winced with pain they felt
Am D G
And rant and cried with the busted ones, with each hand they've been dealt
CHORUS:
Em Bm Am
And it's my blood running through their rivers
Em Bm Am
My blood running through their pains
C Dsus4 G C
My blood mixing with the whiskey in the jar
