G          F              C                D
I used to feel the lyrics slide inside my head
C                             D
The music filled me up, and I felt I would explode in a
G                 F               C           D
burst of coloured static, and the people all around, their eyes
F                G
on the ground.


CHORUS (just melody):
	C        Am      F      G
	Bring me home to FilKONtario
	C  Am  F        G
	Stay, sing with me we'll
	C               Am
	be all right, sing all night
	F                   G        C    C
	with my friends at Filkontario.


G             F                 C            D
One fateful weekend, my friend took me to a filk, "What's a
C                        D
filk", I said, and she laughed and took my hand, led me
G             F              C               D
to a room of people with guitars and easy smiles, and I
F               G
stayed a while.


CHORUS:
	C        Am      F      G
	Bring me home to FilKONtario
	C  Am  F        G
	Stay, sing with me we'll
	C               Am
	be all right, sing all night
	F                   G        C    C
	with my friends at Filkontario.

    (plus counterpoint #1)
    Bring me home to FilKONtario
    Bring me home to FilKONtario
    I want to go to FilKONtario
    
    (plus counterpoint #2)
    Filk FilkOntario...Filk FilkONtario
    I want to go to FilkONtario	
	
	




	
G           F               C               D	
So now I'm hooked, I go to filk cons every year, never
C                    D
get much sleep, why sleep? I could be filking...
G             F                C                 D
The circle changes but the smiles are still the same, and the
F              G
song remains.     



BRIDGE (a capella):
                     C       D                 
(but each time, I) find it harder to say 
     G                 C
good-bye at the end of day, 
G                     Em
may our paths cross again,
     D         G    F    G    F
my friend.


G           F               C            D	
Our voices may not be all perfectly on key, but we
C                          D
lift each other up, and share the melody as we
G                    F            C               D
fill the room with music, and I know I'll be all right as we
F                     G
sing into the night.


CHORUS (twice):

	C        Am      F      G
	Bring me home to FilKONtario
	C  Am  F        G
	Stay, sing with me we'll
	C               Am
	be all right, sing all night
	F                   G        C    C
	with my friends at Filkontario.

    (plus counterpoint #1)

    Bring me home to FilKONtario
    I want to go to FilKONtario
    
    (plus counterpoint #2)
