Hank Snow - Canadian pacific

^CI rode your ocean liner to New^Dmfoundland Where I ^Ammade a living in an iron ^G7mine

When I ^Fgot my fill I went to Nova ^G7Scotia And I ^D7fished the salty waters for a ^G7time

Passing ^Cthrough Prince Edward Island and New ^DmBrunswick I could ^Amsee the rocks and cliffs of solid ^G7stone

Listening ^Fto the seagulls calling to each ^G7other Made me miss my darling and my distant ^Chome

Canadian Pa^Dmcific ^G7carry me 3,000 ^Cmiles Through the valleys and the ^Fforests

^G7To the sunshine of her ^Csmile Cross the plains and the rugged ^Dmmountains

^G7Keep this wandering boy from ^Charm Canadian ^FPacific ^G7take me to my baby's ^Carms

The Atlantic disappeared on the ^Dmhorizon And ^AmQuebec lay waiting for me down the ^G7track

For a ^Fwhile I drove a truck to keep from ^G7starving In ^D7Ontario I was a lumber^G7jack

Mani^Ctoba and Saskatchewan then ^Dmfollowed Where the ^Amwheat fields and the old Red River ^G7flowed

In the ^Fquiet hours your whistling on the ^G7prairie Touched my heart and set my memories ^Caglow

I could feel the nearness of her warm sweet ^Dmkisses When you ^Amrolled into Alberta westward ^G7bound

I worked ^Fon an oil rig to make some ^G7money For a ^D7ticket to the sweetest girl ^G7around

^CPushing on past Lake Louise in all its ^Dmsplendor Where the ^Amtrees and Rockies touch the sky ^G7above

I got ^Fto British Columbia and ^G7heaven On your track I made it back to my true ^Clove

Canadian Pa^Dmcific ^G7carry me 3,000 ^Cmiles Through the valleys and the ^Fforests

^G7To the sunshine of her ^Csmile Cross the plains and the rugged ^Dmmountains

^G7Keep this wandering boy from ^Charm Canadian ^FPacific ^G7take me to my baby's ^Carms
