A great song by a great Canadian band.
This isn't exactly how they play it, but a single-guitar/acoustic adaptation I put together.
Enjoy.

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
No you don't hold grudges
against those who hold blood love
You know his renegade escapades
can all be traced where he comes from
There were times he went missing
but you could always find his heart
When you head back to Kingston
you can find him on your old block
Chorus:
Do you strike those years from the record?
Or do you take em face to face?
I know you’re one to pull no punches honey
And I love you that way
Verse 2:
The phone rings in the morning
You keep picking up half asleep
At times, he'll call beaming
At times, he'll call you in defeat
Chorus
Bridge:
When you're pulling into town
you pass the places that you lived and as a kid you moved around
but if you don't mind,
but if you don't mind now
My darling, there's no reason to forget
Verse 3:
So cancel your plans for the weekend
You'll be taking that greyhound home
This ain't much for timing,
but you can't live scared of picking up the phone
Chorus
End:
I know you're one to pull no punches honey
I know you're one to pull no punches honey
And I love you that way

Shouldn't be too difficult to figure out the structure and timing, etc.
Awesome.
