Intro
G#m G#m E F# G#m x2
[Verse 1]
G#m E F#
Well, I go by the name of Henri LeBlanc
G#m D#m
And trapping is my trade.
G#m E F#
Now, my daddy was French and my momma was a squaw;
G#m F# G#m
I was born in the hem-lock shade.
[Chorus]
E C#m
Forty-four years in the northern woods
B D#m
From Quebec to Hudson’s Bay,
G#m E F#
Forty-four years in the northern woods
G#m F# G#m
Where the bear and the bea-ver stay.
Transition
G#m G#m E F# G#m
[Verse 2]
G#m E F#
Well, it ain’t very warm in November’s storms;
G#m D#m
Still, it’s off to the traps I’ll go
G#m E F#
And the whistle of the jay in the trees on the way
G#m F# G#m
Breaks the hush of the fall-ing snow.
[Chorus]
E C#m
From my piney log shack with my traps on my back
B D#m
To the hills of evergreen,
G#m E F#
G#m
The music that I know is the north wind’s blow
G#m F# G#m
And the cry of the wolve-rine.
G#m G#m E F# G#m
[Verse 3]
G#m E F#
When it’s early in the spring and the high geese sing
G#m D#m
Heading up to the northern Grounds,
G#m E F#
When it’s early in the spring and the river breaks up
G#m F# G#m
With a moaning, groan-ing sound
[Chorus]
E C#m
Then it’s off on the road with my furs in a load
B D#m
For the ladies around the town.
G#m E F#
Well, they’ll look very nice for a very fine price
G#m F# G#m
And be warm when the wind blows down.
[Bridge]
B F#
And my life goes along like a song and a river
E F#
Flowing down along the way.
B F#
Through the months and the years and the smiles and the tears
E F#
I find a friend in every day.
[Verse 4] (In French)
G#m E F#
Je suis connu par le nom LeBlanc
G#m D#m
Et je suis un trappeur.
G#m E F#
Fils de francais, ma mère était indienne,
G#m F# G#m
Je suis né sous les épinettes.
[Chorus]
E C#m
Quarante-quatre ans dans les bois du nord
B D#m
De Québec jusqu’à bay d’Hudson,
G#m E F#
Quarante-quatre ans dans les bois du nord
G#m F# G#m
Où se trouve le grand élan.
[Chorus] (Back in English)
E C#m
Forty-four years in the northern woods
B D#m
From Quebec to Hudson’s Bay,
G#m E F#
Forty-four years in the northern woods
G#m F# G#m
Where the bear and the bea-ver stay.
[Outro]
