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.

[ ? ? ? ? ] the ring I wear
C F
The shirt I bought on the open market
C
The coloured feathers someone gave me
G C F
The change that rattles in my pocket
C
Suspended now on silver wings
G Am F
I'm thinking rings of travellers' fate
C
I'd never know that I was there
G C F C G F
For the shirt I've bought, the ring I wear
C G
Our love to a ring I wear
C F
I have a golden love that's squandered
C
I keep it to remind myself
G C F
True love's true and never wanders
C G
Good friends say that I should pluck that ring away
Am F
Some say pawn it
C
Me, I think that it's crass
G C
A wish I made, a ring I wear
INSTRUMENTAL: F C G Am F C G F C G Am F C G F
C G
My life to a ring I wear
C F
Circle slowly woven 'round me
C
Each day adds another thread
G C F
An Edmond's chain, Alma's belfry
C
Ascending now on silver wings
G Am F
Our faith again, substantial thing
C
You can't see it, it's still there
G C
This life I weave, this ring I wear
