relacionada ao lancamento "Then Again" (ano 2004, pais CA, status Official). James Keelaghan is a Canadian folk singer-songwriter. Born in Calgary, Alberta, Keelaghan is now based in Perth, Ontario. Many of the lyrics in his songs display a concern about social problems and justice in society. Examples of such themes include "Kiri's Piano", about the internment of Japanese Canadians, and "October 70", about the FLQ crisis, inspired by events and figures in Canadian history. Some of his songs concern tragic historical events, such as "Fires of Calais," about the 1940 Dunkirk evacuation of Allied troops during World War II, and "Cold Missouri Waters," about the Mann Gulch fire of 1949. Keelaghan's lilting baritone voice, driving rhythm guitar, and a sense of scene and narrative result in his ability to bridge traditional folk music with roots revival and Celtic music.

CAPO: 5th Fret Intro: C F Em G C F Em G C Em F G The fishing boats rolled out across the dark green channel water C Em F G As they gather speed for Flanders, they cut their nets away C Em F G It's not herring they'll be pulling from the waters on this morning C Em F C But they'll reap a bitter harvest from the fires of Calais INTERLUDE: C F Em G C F Em G C Em F G Twenty leagues from France I saw the amber soaked horizon C Em F G In our lee the cliffs of Dover fall beneath the channel waves C Em F G Where waters used to sing a song to soothe the hearts of fishers C Em F C Now we hear the rolling thunder from the fires of Calais INTERLUDE: C F Em G C F Em G C Em F G As we pull in tight to shore, this armada bent on rescue C Em F G I could curse the men behind the desks who sell our lives this way C Em F G I never signed aboard to save them from this bloody lack of planning C Em F C That strands these fine young men beneath the fires of Calais INTERLUDE: C F Em G C F Em G C Em F G On the beach allied confusion, will they stand or are they running C Em F G If it's run, where will they go to between the sea and the mêlée C Em F G On the flanks the troops advancing and with heavy guns they're firing C Em F C And not a mother's son could save them from the fires of Calais INTERLUDE: C F Em G C F Em G C Em F G In scattered groups upon the shore, some look towards a safer harbour C Em F G Some fix their eyes upon the flames that turn night to day C Em F G Some yet standing bold and ready to stoutly guard the rear from Jerry C Em F C They'll need no flares to see him 'neath the fires of Calais INTERLUDE: C F Em G C F Em G C Em F G I've fished these channel waters since I was man enough to face them C Em F G For the herring and the flounder I have often hauled away C Em F G But a catch like this I've never had in forty years of sailing C Em F C Saving Tommies as they flounder 'neath the fires of Calais INTERLUDE: C F Em G C F Em G C Em F G The fishing boats rolled out across the dark green channel water C Em F G As they gather speed for Flanders, they cut their nets away C Em F G It's not herring they'll be pulling from the waters on this morning C Em F C They'll reap a bitter harvest from the fires of Calais OUTRO: C F Em G C F Em G C F Em G C F Em G C
