Capo 2

[Intro]
Em Em C D Em x2

[Verse 1]
Em C D
Well, I go by the name of Henri LeBlanc
Em Bm
And trapping is my trade.
Em C D
Now, my daddy was French and my momma was a squaw;
Em D Em
I was born in the hem-lock shade.

[Chorus]
C Am
Forty-four years in the northern woods
G Bm
From Quebec to Hudson’s Bay,
Em C D
Forty-four years in the northern woods
Em D Em
Where the bear and the bea-ver stay.

Transition
Em Em C D Em

[Verse 2]
Em C D
Well, it ain’t very warm in November’s storms;
Em Bm
Still, it’s off to the traps I’ll go
Em C D
And the whistle of the jay in the trees on the way
Em D Em
Breaks the hush of the fall-ing snow.

[Chorus]
C Am
From my piney log shack with my traps on my back
G Bm
To the hills of evergreen,
Em C D
Em
The music that I know is the north wind’s blow
Em D Em
And the cry of the wolve-rine.
Em Em C D Em
