There is a town in north Ontario,
 6     8    -8 -8  8 -8 7 7    7
With dream comfort memory to spare,
 6  8  8   -8 
And in my mind
-8  8    7   7   7   -6 7
I still need a place to go,
8 -8  -8   8  7   7     7
All-  my changes were there.

  8    8    -8  8  -8  7   7    7
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
 8 -8   -8  7   7   7
Yellow moon on the rise,
 8   8    -8  8  -8 7    7   7
Big birds flying across the sky,
  8  8   -8 -8   -8 8 -8  7
Throwing shadows on our- eyes.
  7   -8
Leave us

  8  8     -8  -8    8   7
Helpless, helpless, helpless
8 -8 -8   8   7   7   7
Baby can you hear me now?
 6   8 -8  -8    -8  
The chains are locked
-8   8   7  7    7   7
and tied across the door,
8 -8  8 -8 7   7   7   7   7  
Baby, sing--  with me somehow.

Helpless, helpless, helpless.
