Lyrics

[Intro]
| D/F# | Cadd9 | G | - |
| D/F# | Cadd9 | G | - |

[Verse 1]
D/F#
    Late afternoon,
 Cadd9
another day is nearly done
G
D/F#                 Cadd9
    A darker grey is breaking through a lighter one
G
D/F#                     Cadd9
    A thousand sharpened elbows in the underground
G D/F#                    Cadd9
      That hollow, hurried     sound
   Em        D/F#        Cadd9
Of feet on polished floor

[Chorus]
    Em        D/F# Cadd9
And in the dollar  store
    Em          D/F# A
The clerk is closing up
                                    D9/C
And counting loonies, trying not to say 
       G
I hate Winnipeg

[Verse 2]
D/F#                      Cadd9
    The driver checks the mirror,
seven minutes late
G
D/F#                    Cadd9
    The crowded riders' restlessness enunciates
G D/F#
      The Guess Who suck,
    Cadd9
the Jets were lousy anyway
G D/F#                  Cadd9
      The same route every   day
    Em        D/F#     Cadd9
And in the turning lane

[Chorus]
Em        D/F#         Cadd9
Someone's stalled again
     Em        D/F#       A
He's talking to    himself
                                     D9/C
And hears the price of gas repeat his    phrase
       G
I hate Winnipeg

[Interlude]
        | D/F# | Cadd9 |
| G | - | D/F# | Cadd9 |
| G | - | D/F# |

[Chorus]
Cadd9    Em      D/F#
     And up above    us all,
Cadd9 Em        D/F#   Cadd9
      leaning into  sky
  Em         D/F#    Cadd9     Em             D/F#    Cadd9
A golden business boy     will watch the north    end die
    Em          D/F#          A
And sing "I love    this town"
                                     Cadd9
Then let his arcing wrecking ball proclaim

[Outro]
Cadd9 D/F# G
I     hate Winnipeg
