Hank Snow - Canadian pacific

I ^C#rode your ocean liner to New^D#mfoundland Where I ^A#mmade a living in an iron ^G#mine When I ^F#got my fill I went to Nova ^G#Scotia And I ^D#7fished the salty waters for a ^G#time

Passing ^C#through Prince Edward Island and New ^D#mBrunswick I could ^A#msee the rocks and cliffs of solid ^G#stone Listening ^F#to the seagulls calling to each ^G#other Made me ^G#miss my darling and my distant ^C#home

Canadian Pa^D#mcific ^G# carry me 3,000 ^C#miles Through the valleys and the ^F#forests ^G# To the sunshine of her ^C#smile Cross the plains and the rugged ^D#mmountains ^G# Keep this wandering boy from ^C#harm Canadian Pa^F#cific ^G# take me to my baby's ^C#arms

The At^C#lantic disappeared on the h^D#morizon And Que^A#mbec lay waiting for me down the ^G#track For a ^F#while I drove a truck to keep from ^G#starving In On^D#7tario I was a lumber^G#jack

Mani^C#toba and Saskatchewan then ^D#mfollowed Where the ^A#mwheat fields and the old Red River ^G#flowed In the ^F#quiet hours your whistle on the ^G#prairie Touched my ^G#heart and set my memories a^C#glow ^D

I could ^Dfeel the nearness of her warm sweet ^Emkisses When you ^Bmrolled into Alberta westward ^Abound I worked ^Gon an oil rig to make some ^Amoney For a ^Eticket to the sweetest girl ^Aaround

Pushing ^Don past Lake Louise in all its ^Emsplendor Where the ^Bmtrees and Rockies touch the sky a^Above I got to ^GBritish Columbia and ^Aheaven On your ^Atracks I made it back to my true ^Dlove
