Tom: C
C F C G7 C
[Verse 1]
C F
I have walked 'cross the sand on the Grand Banks of Newfoudland,
C Am7 Dm7 G7
Lazed on the ridge of the Miramichi.
C F
Seen the waves tear and roar at the stone coast of Labrador,
C G7 C
Watched them roll back to the great northern sea
[Chorus]
G7 C
From the Vancouver Island to the Alberta Highland,
Am Em D7 G7
'Cross the prairie, the Lakes, to Ontario's towers,
C
From the sound of Mount Royal's chimes,
F
Out to the Maritimes,
C G7 C
Something to sing about, this land of ours
[Verse 2]
C F
I have welcomed the dawm from the fields of Saskatchewan,
C Am7 Dm7 G7
Followed the sun to the Vancouver shore.
C F
Watched it climb shiny new up the snow peaks of Cariboo,
C G7 C
Up to the clouds where the wild Rockies soar.
[Chorus]
G7 C
From the Vancouver Island to the Alberta Highland,
Am Em D7 G7
'Cross the prairie, the Lakes, to Ontario's towers,
C
From the sound of Mount Royal's chimes,
F
Out to the Maritimes,
C G7 C
Something to sing about, this land of ours
[Verse 3]
C F
I have heard the wild wind sing the places I have been,
C Am7 Dm7 G7
Bay Bulls and Red Deer and Strait of Belle Isle.
C F
Names like Grand'mére and Silverthrone, Moose Jaw and Marrowbone,
C G7 C
Trails of the pioneer, named with a smile.
[Chorus]
G7 C
From the Vancouver Island to the Alberta Highland,
Am Em D7 G7
'Cross the prairie, the Lakes, to Ontario's towers,
C
From the sound of Mount Royal's chimes,
F
Out to the Maritimes,
C G7 C
Something to sing about, this land of ours
[Verse 4]
C F
I have wandered my way to the wildwood of Hudson Bay
C Am7 Dm7 G7
Treated my toes to Quebec's morning dew.
C F
Where the sweet summer breeze kissed the leaves of the maple trees,
C G7 C
Sharing this song that I'm singing to you.
[Chorus]
G7 C
From the Vancouver Island to the Alberta Highland,
Am Em D7 G7
'Cross the prairie, the Lakes, to Ontario's towers,
C
From the sound of Mount Royal's chimes,
F
Out to the Maritimes,
C G7 C
Something to sing about, this land of ours
[Verse 5]
C F
Yes there's something to sing about, tune up a string about,
C Am7 Dm7 G7
Call out in chorus or quietly hum,
C F
Of a land that's still young with a ballad that's still unsung,
C G7 C
Telling the promise of great things to come
[Chorus]
G7 C
From the Vancouver Island to the Alberta Highland,
Am Em D7 G7
'Cross the prairie, the Lakes, to Ontario's towers,
C
From the sound of Mount Royal's chimes,
F
Out to the Maritimes,
C G7 C
Something to sing about, this land of ours
