[Verse 5]
In [G]the cities of the country,
how they [D]took to the sound
The music of the miners up
in [G]Timmins town
Where he packed the old pavilion
to the [D]clapping of hands,
Of the doctors and the lawyers
and the lumberjack [G]man

[Verse 6]
With [G]a magical smile just as [D]clear as a bell
Mr. Henry Kelnic will [G]remember you well
And we'll raise another glass
up in [D]the Northern Land
To Henry and the members
of a mighty fine [G]band
