Canadian Pacific by Ray Griff

[C] [D7] [G7]

I [C] rode your ocean liner to New[Dm]foundland

Where I [Am] made a living in a iron [G7] mine

When I [F] got my fill I went to Nova [G7] Scotia

And I [D7] fished the salty waters for a [G7] time

Passing [C] through Prince Edward Island and New [Dm] Brunswick

I could [Am] see the rocks and cliffs of solid [G7] stone

Listening [F] to the seagulls calling to each other [G7]

Made me miss my darling and my distant [C] home

Canadian Pa[D7]ci[G7]fic

Carry me 3,000 [C] miles

Through the valleys and the [F] forests

[G7] To the sunshine of her [C] smile

Cross the plains and rugged [Dm] mountains

[G7] Keep this wandering boy from [C] harm

Canadian Pa[F]cific [G7] take me to my baby's [C] arms

The Atlantic disappeared on the [Dm] horizon

And [Am] Quebec lay waiting for me down the [G7] track

For a [F] while I drove a truck to keep from [G7] starving

In [D7] Ontario I was a lumber [G7] jack

Mani[C]toba and Saskatchewan then [Dm] followed

Where the [Am] wheat fields and the old Red River [G7] flow

In the [F] quiet hours your whistling on the [G7] prairie

Touched my heart and set my memories [C] aglow [D7] [G7]

I could [C] feel the nearness of her warm sweet [Dm] kisses

When you [Am] rolled into Alberta westward [G7] bound

I worked [F] on an oil rig to make some [G7] money

For a [D7] ticket to the sweetest girl [G7] around

[C] Pushing on past Lake Louise in all its [Dm] splendour

Where the [Am] trees and Rockies touch the sky [G7] above

I got [F] to British Columbia and [G7] heaven

On your track I made it back to my true [C] love

Canadian Pa[D7]ci[G7]fic

Carry me 3,000 [C] miles

Through the valleys and the [F] forests

[G7] To the sunshine of her [C] smile

Cross the plains and rugged [Dm] mountains

[G7] Keep the wandering boy from [C] harm

Canadian Pa[F]cific [G7] you took me to my baby's [C] arms
