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 And Oscar Lopez - The Kiss (Saskatoon)
CAPO: 2nd fret
INTRO: C F G C F G
F C F
As I recall, it was my sixteenth year
Was seventeen for you
C
It was nine hours on a Greyhound bus
F
On windswept roads in Saskatoon
G
I was awkward then as I am now
F
I couldn't bring myself to say
G
That there was something more than wanderlust
F G
That brought me all that way
CHORUS:
F C F G
The kiss I never gave you
F C F G
The kiss I never gave you
F C
It was somewhere east of Hanna
F
Where the land begins to rise
C F
I was riding shotgun for the driver
Drinking Cokes and telling lies
G
The hills of sleeping maple
F G
Underneath a blanket coloured brilliant white
Wrapped around her shoulders
F G
Dropped out of a winter sky
CHORUS:
F C F G
The kiss I never gave you
F C F G
The kiss I never gave you
BRIDGE:
Am
Ah, the kiss I never gave you
F C
I know now you didn't want it
Am
But I carried it around so long
F G
Sometimes I think I'm haunted
Am
By the kiss I never gave you
F C
Let's stash it here behind the bar
Dm
But maybe someone else can find it
G F
Hope they don't carry it half so far, ohhh
INSTRUMENTAL: F C F C F G F G F G
F C
Now that it's settled, let me tell you
F
One last memory I have
C
Of a car of friends that passed that bus
F
As I was headed back
G
My face pressed to the window
F G
My head was feeling better for the cold
The last I saw of you
F G
I lost your taillights in a gust of snow
CHORUS:
F C F G
The kiss I never gave you
F C F G
The kiss I never gave you
CHORUS:
F C F G
Ohh, the kiss I never gave you
F C F G
The kiss I never gave you
