Chords for Blue Rodeo with The Skydiggers | Hasn't Hit Me Yet

[N] _ _ [D] _ Hasn't Hit Me Yet was [B] written in that same time as Dark [G#] Angel.
I was [G]
reading [G#] James Joyce's The Dead [G] and _ _ I've read that [F#] story _ _ ten times and I just love it.
[C] And his little trick at the [F#] end of that book when Gabriel [G#] is sitting by the [G] window and
the snow is [F] falling all over Ireland and [G] he's sitting there with his broken heart [F] thinking
of his wife being in [D] love with somebody else.
_ _ [A] And whatever that [G] Joyce-ian epiphany is, well it happens [Gm] every time I read that.
[D] And I'm always surprised that it [G#] works every time.
It's [G] such a great piece of art.
And [B] so I was walking around Port Hope on a snowy night [G#] _ and I was probably a little drunk
and [G] I was feeling a little melancholy and it started to snow.
And I was looking up [F] at a street lamp and [G#] _ the snow was falling through the street lamp
and Port Hope is right on Lake Ontario and the snow would have [F] been falling out in the
middle of Lake Ontario.
_ [A] _ _ And I wanted to incorporate _ [G#] something _ [G] from that moment in [F#] The Dead into a song.
Well there's a bunch of stuff about that song.
First of all I remember when I first heard it thinking that's a great song.
[C] It's somehow _ _ _ _ _ the _
[E] urgency of the emotion in it is [A] immediately identifiable and also the
[G#] place that for [D#] _ Ontarians at least and [F#] I think for Canadians to a certain extent, _ [N] _ having
it placed _ in southern Ontario _ and even broadly [F#] looking out on Lake [F] Ontario with the snow
coming down is very important.
[C#] I think it makes that idea romantic and attaches [C] itself to all the other [E] notions in the song. _ _

yet.
_ _ _ [F#m] _ I felt through [A] this, _ and [E] I kind of lost my [B] _ head. _ _
[F#m] _ I stand [A] _ _
transfixed _ [E] _ for this street [B]

_ _ [F#m] somehow _ _ _ the feeling's [D] _ gone. _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ You got sick of [E] _

_ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
Same _ [A] snow's falling, _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ Deep sand [A] water, _ _
_ _ [F#m] The great dark [A]
wonder,
_ _ _ [F#m] _ Into the [E] wave of [B] my heart. _

[E] Thanks a lot, folks. _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ Clear out! _
_ _ _ _ _ I [A#] think it was a real watershed song,
and by far the best song Greg's ever written.
[F#] By far. _ _ _
