Life of a Voyageur or The Voyageur's Song by Mary Swanson
Am
The life of a voyageur

G
that of a sojourner

F
travels around and round
E7 (E7: 020100) but not from town to town
Am
travels the lakes and streams

G
follows his distant dreams

F
peace on the waterways

Am          Am7 Am Am7 Am
blue skies and cloudy days
[Chorus]
   Am
   My heart has but one home

   G
   from which I'll never roam

   F
   land of true happiness

   E7                      Am
   Canadian wilderness

Am
The call of the lonely loon

G
coyotes howling at the moon

F
wind rustling through the trees
E7 (E7: 020100) that's a Canadian breeze
Am
smoke rising from the fire

G
up through the trees who’s stately spires

F
reach to the sky in the evening glow

Am                    Am7 Am Am7 Am
sun goes down, no northwinds blow
[Chorus]
Am
Mist rising from the falls

G
distant hooting of the owls

F
fire crackling through the night
E7 (A7: 020100) bird's cry at dawn's first light
Am
fall when leaves come tumbling down

G
winter's blanket covers ground

F
zephyrs blowing through the pines

Am               Am7 Am Am7 Am
voyageur's heritage, this is mine
[Chorus]
Am
The life of a voyageur

G
that of a sojourner

F
clear as the mountain stream
E7 (E7: 020100) key to my distant dream
Am
some day I'll find it there

G
place where I'll lose all care

F
owls hoot and loons cry free

Am        Am7 Am Am7 Am
there I'll find my liberty
