I think it dates from WWI or something. I was taught many versions of this as a little kid in French school, and I'd love to know if this is actually Canadian... |

In France it's more usually called Le Canard Blanc or Derrière Chez Nous, and is a good bit older than WWI. There are a lot of references to V'la le Bon Vent on the Web, but they all seem to relate to the best-known Canadian version, and all the musical examples are copies of Barry Taylor's midi arrangement, which may be found at Barry Taylor's Great Canadian Tunebook It might be possible to extract chords from that, using a programme like Midinotate, if you really can't work out your own.
