Bill Staines - Henri LeBlanc See this video for guidance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RC_gVv2DCQ Capo 2 [Intro] Em Em C D Em x2 [Verse 1]

^EmWell, I go by the name of ^CHenri ^DLeBlanc ^EmAnd trapping is my ^Bmtrade. Now, my ^Emdaddy was French and my ^Cmomma was a ^Dsquaw; I was ^Emborn in the hem-^Dlock ^Emshade.

[Chorus]

^CForty-four years in the ^Amnorthern woods From ^GQuebec to Hudson’s ^BmBay, ^EmForty-four years in the ^Cnorthern ^Dwoods Where the ^Embear and the bea-^Dver ^Emstay.

Transition Em Em C D Em [Verse 2]

^EmWell, it ain’t very warm in ^CNovember’s ^Dstorms; ^EmStill, it’s off to the ^Bmtraps I’ll go ^EmAnd the whistle of the jay in the ^Ctrees on the ^Dway Breaks the ^Emhush of the fall-^Ding ^Emsnow.

[Chorus]

^CFrom my piney log shack with my ^Amtraps on my back To the ^Ghills of everg^Bmreen, Em C D ^EmThe music that I know is the north wind’s blow And the ^Emcry of the ^Dwolve-^Emrine.

Em Em C D Em [Verse 3]

When it’s ^Emearly in the spring and the ^Chigh geese ^Dsing Heading ^Emup to the northern ^BmGrounds, When it’s ^Emearly in the spring and the ^Criver breaks ^Dup With a ^Emmoaning, groan-^Ding ^Emsound

[Chorus]

Then it’s ^Coff on the road with my ^Amfurs in a load For the ^Gladies around the ^Bmtown. Well, they’ll ^Emlook very nice for a ^Cvery fine ^Dprice And be ^Emwarm when the wind ^Dblows ^Emdown.

[Bridge]

And my ^Glife goes along like a ^Dsong and a river Flowing ^Cdown along the ^Dway. Through the ^Gmonths and the years and the ^Dsmiles and the tears I find a ^Cfriend in every ^Dday.

[Verse 4] (In French)

Je ^Emsuis connu par le ^Cnom Le^DBlanc Et ^Emje suis un trap^Bmpeur. ^EmFils de francais, ma mère ^Cétait ^Dindienne, Je ^Emsuis né sous les ^Dépinet^Emtes.

[Chorus]

Qua^Crante-quatre ans dans les ^Ambois du nord De ^GQuébec jusqu’à bay ^Bmd’Hudson, Qua^Emrante-quatre ans dans les ^Cbois du ^Dnord Où ^Emse trouve le ^Dgrand ^Emélan.

[Chorus] (Back in English)

^CForty-four years in the ^Amnorthern woods From ^GQuebec to Hudson’s ^BmBay, ^EmForty-four years in the ^Cnorthern ^Dwoods Where the ^Embear and the bea-^Dver ^Emstay.

[Outro] Em Em C D Em x2
