Capo 3 D A G I got out of bed after I laid down to rest went down to the river to dunk my weary head every day I wake I will be my very best today, I'm going to live for today told you I loved you, don't need to hear it back those parting words I spoke while my belongings I did pack I meant every word, now I'm on those old train tracks today, I'm going to live for today today, just for today oh for that I pray skipped out on work instead I wrote this song everything that we own will one day be gone so I skipped out on work 'cause before the day is done today, I'm going to live for today I planted seeds and I'm gonna watch 'em grow sowed them in the ground and into hearts of those I know I planted seeds and I'm gonna watch 'em grow today, I'm going to live for today I heard through the grapevine of someone who was dying that light was fading, now everybody's crying appreciate the life out there and the one that you've been given today, I'm going to live for today

D# Standard A D E I've got nowhere to go so I'll just sit right here blowin' smoke my head is clear for now but not for long it's a wonder where all those barroom nights have gone because I've been drinking my spirits are high, my spirits are low my voice has no where else to go I have had enough to think not enough to fill my drink now you know that I didn't mean to spill my guts to you and in your kitchen sink I may have said some things I may regret but thankfully those words I'll soon forget I'm sorry for my sobering thoughts they flew right out of my mouth, they couldn't stop now I bask in the morning light, the dreadful feeling I think we fought I was playing it low key, but now my plans are shot I've been drinking

D# Standard C G D this land is your land this land is my land from Bonavista to Vancouver Island from the Arctic Circle to the Great Lake waters this land was made for you and me as I went walking that Yellowhead highway I saw above me that endless skyway I saw below me that golden valley this land was made for you and me I roamed and rambled, I followed my footsteps to the dusty sands of Okanagan deserts while all around me a voice was sounding this land was made for you and me there's a big high wall there that tried to stop me sign was painted said private property but on the other side it didn't say nothin' that side was made for you and me one sunny morning in the shadow of a steeple by the Inac office I'd seen my people they stood there hungry and I stood there asking is this land made for you and me? nobody living can ever stop me as I go walking that freedom highway nobody living can make me turn back this land was made for you and me

about

We drove out to the woods with two microphones and two minds that needed clearing. Next to the wood stove in an old cabin, we wrote, rehearsed, and recorded these tunes.
