[Verse 1]
G G C G
There's a spot that is dear to the heart of old cowboys
C G D D7
Who once rode the broncos - darn hard to tame
G G C G
Ahead in the saddle at the first creak of daylight
C G D G G
Singin’ a song of old Alberta plains
[Chorus 1]
G G C G
O, carry me back to the plains of Alberta
G G D D7
I long to go back to the wide rollin' range
G G C G
On a bright sunny hillside I sit there a dreamin
C G D G G
Those good old days on ol' Alberta plains
[Verse 2]
G G C G
The lull of the cattle - a flamin' sun settin'
C G D D7
Brandin' a stray, but ain't none to blame
G G C G
Up rose a chuck wagon, and the old cook complaining
C G D G G
It's all in the life on old Alberta range
[Chorus 2]
G G C G
O, carry me back to the plains of Alberta
G G D D7
I long to go back to the wide rollin' range
G D C G
Yodel-ay-hee oh, lay-eee-oh, lay-dee eee
G D G G
Yodel-ay-hee oh, del-ay-hee oh, del-ya-eee
[Verse 3]
G G C G
I've ridden the ranges they call dear old Texas,
C G D D7
Crossed to Montana, to me they're the same.
G G C G
Well there's no place on earth that I love so sincerely
C G D G G
To be back again on ol' Alberta plains
[Chorus 3]
G G C G
O, carry me back to the plains of Alberta
G G D D7
I long to go back to the wide rollin' range
G G C G
On a bright sunny hillside I sit there a dreamin
C G D G G
Those good old days on ol' Alberta range
[Verse 4]
G G C G
The pale moon is riding high up in the heaven.
C G D D7
Feelin’ so lonely, heart filled with pain
G G C G
If I only could swing once again in the saddle
C G D G G
Like I did years ago on ol' Alberta plains
[Chorus 4]
G G C G
O, carry me back to the plains of Alberta
G G D D7
I long to go back to the wide rollin range
G D C G
Yodel-ay-hee oh, lay-eee-oh, lay-dee eee
G D G G
Yodel-ay-hee oh, del-ay-hee oh, del-ya-eee
[Chorus 5]
G G C G
O, carry me back to the plains of Alberta
G G D D7
I long to go back to the wide rollin range
G G C G
On a bright sunny hillside I sit there a dreamin
C G D G
Those good old days on ol' Alberta range
