[Note, lyrics are from the liner, slightly different in the recording.]

[G] [Em] x2

[G]Up in [Em]Manitoba
The [C]sky was very [Am]blue
The [C]people were a [Am]few
[G]And nights were never [E]colder

Once I heard a wailing sound
The sky had turned to red
So I got up from my bed
And I wandered far from town

	[PRECHORUS]

	[Bm] [D]

	[CHORUS]

	[G]I have [C]seen the face of God
	And I was not [D]afraid
	[G]I have [C]seen the face of [Em]God
	And [C]I have [D]dearly [G]paid

The darkness came right down on me
There were no more lights to follow
So I slept inside the hollow
Of a dead and fallen tree

Did you know three days I tried
To wake myself?  But, no
My flesh had turned to snow
And i thought that I had died

	[CHORUS]

And though I had it rough
They got me home in time
They gave me homemade wine
But it was not enough

The cold had made me dumb
And I was sent away
These walls are here today
For fifty years and some

	[CHORUS]

Yay!  Dave Noisy's first tab contribution!
