Tom: Bm
G F#/D
They said Bryan Adams was busy
Em C
And Nickelback all had to work.
Am G
They meant to call Drake but called me by mistake,
F#/D
so you’re stuck with a song by this jerk
[Verse 2]
G F#/D
They asked me to write you a number
Em C
To show you just how we all feel,
Am G
We now you’re a fan of the land we call Canada,
F#/D
but here’s what I’ve got to reveal:
[Chorus 1]
G D C
That Canada loves you back
G D C
Canada loves you back
G D C
Canada loves you back
G D C
Canada loves you back
G D Bm Em C G D
Wherever you go, we want you to know, Ryan, Canada loves you back
[Verse 3]
G F#/D
A genuine canadian icon,
Em C
Like Shatner or Alex Trebek
Am G
You're almost as juicy as Bruno Gerussi
F#/D
and much better known in Quebec
[Verse 4]
G F#/D
Of all the Canadian Ryans,
Em C
you’ve gotta be in our top three
Am G
We’ll drink American gin when your team in Wales wins
F#/D
and tell everyone you’re from B.C.
[Chorus 2]
G D C
Cuz, Canada’s got your back.
G D C
Canada’s got your back.
G D Bm Em C G D
When things aren’t so good in old Hollywood, remember Canada’s got your back
[Verse 5]
G F#/D
You're Canada's own superhero
Em C
And not simply when you*re onscrean
Am G
You shine a spotlight on people who might
F#/D
Not otherwise get to be seen
[Verse 6]
G F#/D
Of course we would like to take credit
Em C
But that's not what Canadians do
Am G
Our nation's foundation on self-deprication
F#/D
Seems like it has rubbed off on you
[Chorus 3]
G D C
And Canada loves you back
G D C
Canada loves you back
G D Bm Em C G D
Wherever you go, we want you to know, Ryan, Canada loves you back
[Interlude]
Em C
How about something anthemic
Em C
Oh something Celine ought to sing
Am G F
He helped us all through the pandemic
E A
So watcha waiting for? Let those churchbells sing
[Chorus 4]
A E D
Canada loves you back
A E D
Canada loves you back
A E C#m F#m D A E
Wherever you go, we want you to know, Ryan, Canada loves you back
A E D
Canada loves you back (oh)
A E D
Canada loves you back (yeah)
A E C#m F#m D A E
Wherever you go, we want you to know, Ryan, Canada loves you back
N.C. A
We love you baaaaaaaaack
