Helmet Head
by Great Big Sea
I couldn t find any guitar chords anywhere for this song, so I watched a concert DVD and
it out myself.
The chords are:
: xx0232
: 320003 or 320033 (whichever you prefer, they re very similar)
: x02220
: x24432 this one is a pain if you re not experienced, I just play it xxx432, makes
a bit easier
Standard Tuning
Capo on 3rd fret!
Intro
I was just seventeen, when I made the AHL
I couldn t skate in junior, but my fists rang like a bell.
I ll never win a title, and I ll never win the cup,
But when it comes to ladies, I ve had the best of luck.
Verse (almost same as intro, listen to the song for the beat, the strumming is a little
in this song)
My first one was a sly one, hanging round the rink,
But they sent me off to Cornwall, as fast as you could blink,
In Moose Jaw I was right in love, the daughter of the coach -
He traded me for nothing, didn t take to my approach.
Chorus
So good-bye, fare thee well,
There s no time for delay,
You ll see me at the face-off, or catch the play-by-play
So good-bye, fare thee well,
I m glad you shared my bed,
But never trust a fellow with a helmet on his head.
(All verses are the same)
Chantal was from Moncton, elle a joué avec moi.
A tongue as sharp as razors, but she had a fancy car.
Her husband was a bruiser, played senior in Quebec,
If he d had the rights of it, it would have been my neck.
Nancy couldn t watch me fight, she d always be in tears,
Waving from the bleachers, and screaming in my ears,
Dee I should have married, and we had a dandy fling,
But I had a one way contract, blew the money for the ring.
I should have sent a letter, and it would have been polite,
But I m cleaning out my locker, and time is getting tight.
I m calling from the station, perhaps another day,
Cause they re calling up a rookie, and they re trading me away
