||: ^G/ ^G/B / ^C/ ^D7 / | ^G/ ^G/B / ^C/ ^D7 / :|| [Repeat over spoken intro lyrics] I wanted to be a Lumberjack, leaping from tree to tree, As they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia, The Giant Redwood, the Larch, the Fir, the mighty Scots Pine, The smell of fresh cut timber, the crash of mighty trees, With my best girlie by my side, We'd sing, ...sing, ...sing...
