From the CD "due South: Original Television Soundtrack" (Unforscene Music).
first transcribed to Guitartabs.cc by John Manning
Updated by Russell Reading with pick and new chords.
(using John's words in the hard bits I couldn't get - Thanks to him for them!)
The pick at the beginning goes something like this.
Basically it's the Chord With the top e open, picked with a suitable bass note.
Play the pattern D D, G G D D A G for the 1st verse (or play it as a short intro then strum).
That Pick then....

Note: You can also freely interchanged A and Am when playing this, see what sounds best to your ear..
DWell I was born up north of Great Slave, 1898,
and I Grode near all my life on a ranch near Devil's Gate.
And I've Dseen this world about me bend and flip and change.
Hey it feels like Amrain -- that's a thunderclGoud.
Well DI've been called a coward, but I've seen two World Wars.
And GI lost my son Virgil, a Korean reward.
And my DLucy died last summer. You ask me if I cry,
Hell, I've shed tearAms: all over this grGound,
they're Gfalling from these Ablue Alberta Dskies.
Chorus:
DWe're gonna ride forAever,
EmYou can't keep horsemen in a Gcage.
Should the angels Dcall, well it's only Amthen
We'll pull in the reiGns.
NDow they tell me I'm an old man, they tell me I am blind.
They Gtook my driver's license, this house ain't far behind.
I said &Dquot;Jump back all you big suits, you got something wrong
'cause I ain't Amgone. No I ain't gGone."
DI am still breathing, and I still have my pride.
GAnd I have my memories, your life it never dies.
Like the Dwind that blows in thunder, like the stallion on the fly
I got it Amall, and I'm standing tGall
GUnderneath these Amblue Alberta Dskies.
[chorus]
DSo I say to all you old men: Don't let yourselves get broke.
If you Gthink the world's gone crazy and it's scratching at your throat
it'Ds time to dust off that old saddle and get it on a horse.
Kick up your Aspurs: we're gonna run like Gstink
We're gonna Gtear across these Ablue Alberta Dskies.
[chorus]
