Start Jamming...
stripped down acoustic [D] style proved to [G] be a powerful medium for self-expression.
These unique [Em] performers grew and explored new [G] musical territory.
Some went
on to write and sing the classics of Canadian country music.
[C] [D] [Em]
[D] Five [G] years ago I wrote a song called Four [Am] Strong Winds.
At the time it [D] meant a lot to myself and my wife Sylvia [G] and eventually to thousands of Canadians and people all over the world.
[Am] In it I tried to describe some of the separation, [D] loneliness and sadness of this [Am] great cold land of [G] ours.
And maybe too I was trying to say something about the [Am] love and guts it takes to live here.
[D]
[C]
[Em] [Db]
[A] [N] It's lasted and I think that it's a coincidence that it's paralleled my life a bit but I don't think I'd take it more further than that.
[Dm] Sylvia and I met [Dm] in Toronto.
She immigrated to Toronto from a little [C]
Ontario town.
[C] I'd come from British [D] Columbia and it just went from there you know.
[Dm] A lot of the recording sessions were done [C] right off the floor.
There were no overdubs or tracks and they just [F] opened the two mics and [G] you'd cut the record.
[Em] [A] [Dm]
Ian [G] [E]
[A] and Sylvia created a [Dm] vocal sound that was rich, [G] poignant and powerful.
In the [Em] 60s they were international [A] stars, headlining the Newport Folk [Dm] Festival and selling out [G] Carnegie Hall.
By the mid 70s [Dm] the duo of Ian and Sylvia suffered from artistic and personal [G] differences.
They split up and Ian headed out to Alberta.
