Another fantastic song by Les Stroud! One of the great Canadians of our time.
(This version of 'Snowshoes and Solitute' was tabbed from
his original release from his 2006 album 'Les Stroud'.)
[Intro]
Dm D9sus2 x2
[Verse]
Dm D9sus2
Snow, winter, spruce bows for a floor
Dm D9sus2
Fur, fire, keep the body warm
D
Where eagles fly and the caribou lie
C
Is where we got to be
G D
Oh the wolf waits there for me and you
C
and you
[Chorus]
D C
Snowshoes and Solitude what we dream of
D C
World of wind and water to explore
D C
Keep a fire burning in our shelter
D C
Walk across the ice to our shore
Dm D9sus2
[Verse]
Dm D9sus2
Aurora borealis, so powerfully entertains
Dm D9sus2
Burning like a forest fire, wild and untamed
D
But you dammed the rivers, and built the roads
C
and cut the old growth down
G D
until there's nothing left but ground and dust
C
and dust
[Chorus]
D C
Snowshoes and Solitude what we dream of
D C
World of wind and water to explore
D C
Keep a fire burning in our shelter
D C
Walk across the ice to our shore
D C
Snowshoes and Solitude
D C
Snowshoes and Solitude
Dm D9sus2 x2
[Verse]
Dm D9sus2
Snow, winter, spruce bows for a floor
Dm D9sus2
Fur, fire, keep the soul warm
[Chorus]
D C
Snowshoes and Solitude what we dream of
D C
World of wind and water to explore
D C
Keep a fire burning in our shelter
D C
Walk across the ice to our soul
[Chorus]
D C
Snowshoes and Solitude what we dream of
D C
World of wind and water to explore
D C
Keep a fire burning in our shelter
D C
Paddle across the lake to our shore
D C
Snowshoes and Solitude
D C
Snowshoes and Solitude
