King of the Past - Rheostatics
 
BmCheck your Gwatch; you're Dfourteen and more.
BmHere lies a Groad not Dtravelled Abefore.
BmDown in the Gcellar, there's Dbeer on your breath.
BmAnd up off the Gfloor, did you Dlet him explore?
 
Bm A Bm A Bm A G A
OoooooohÖ
 
Check your map. You're Louis Riel.
He rode a horse before you were born.
Out in the flatland, the money's all spent.
And out in the field, your fate has been sealed.
 
OoooooohÖ
 
I'm the DKing of the APast, but Dstill I walk Aforward.
DWon't close my Aeyes to the Gpassing of Atime.
DI'm in Fredericton ANorthern where the Drivers make Aborders,
DBut planes fly Aright over Gthem. A
 
Check your map, 'cause you've lost your watch.
It's buried under snow; its time does not stop.
Find your way homeward. The rivers are freezing.
And under the ice, the borders are changing.
 
OoooooohÖ
 
I'm the King of the Past, but still I walk forward.
I step over hundreds of years yet to come,
While the eyes in the back of my head draw no borders,
Just rivers that channel the rain.
 
(Chase them away.)
