[INTRO]
[C#]
[VERSE 1]
I [C#]rode your ocean liner to New[D#m]foundland
Where I [A#m]made a living in an iron [G#]mine
When I [F#]got my fill I went to Nova [G#]Scotia
And I [D#7]fished the salty waters for a [G#]time
[VERSE 2]
Passing [C#]through Prince Edward Island and New [D#m]Brunswick
I could [A#m]see the rocks and cliffs of solid [G#]stone
Listening [F#]to the seagulls calling to each [G#]other
Made me [G#]miss my darling and my distant [C#]home
[CHORUS 1]
Canadian Pa[D#m]cific [G#] carry me 3,000 [C#]miles
Through the valleys and the [F#]forests [G#]
To the sunshine of her [C#]smile
Cross the plains and the rugged [D#m]mountains [G#]
Keep this wandering boy from [C#]harm
Canadian Pa[F#]cific [G#] take me to my baby's [C#]arms
[VERSE 3]
The At[C#]lantic disappeared on the h[D#m]orizon
And Que[A#m]bec lay waiting for me down the [G#]track
For a [F#]while I drove a truck to keep from [G#]starving
In On[D#7]tario I was a lumber[G#]jack
[VERSE 4]
Mani[C#]toba and Saskatchewan then [D#m]followed
Where the [A#m]wheat fields and the old Red River [G#]flowed
In the [F#]quiet hours your whistle on the [G#]prairie
Touched my [G#]heart and set my memories a[C#]glow [D]
[VERSE 5]
I could [D]feel the nearness of her warm sweet [Em]kisses
When you [Bm]rolled into Alberta westward [A]bound
I worked [G]on an oil rig to make some [A]money
For a [E]ticket to the sweetest girl [A]around
[VERSE 6]
Pushing [D]on past Lake Louise in all its [Em]splendor
Where the [Bm]trees and Rockies touch the sky a[A]bove
I got to [G]British Columbia and [A]heaven
On your [A]tracks I made it back to my true [D]love
[CHORUS 2]
Canadian Pac[Em]ific [A] carry me 3,000 [D]miles
Through the valleys and the [G]forests[A]
To the sunshine of her [D]smile
Cross the [D]plains and the rugged [Em]mountains [A]
Keep this wandering boy from [D]harm
Canadian Pa[G]cific [A] take me to my baby's [D]arms
[OUTRO]
Canadian Pac[Em]ific [A] carry me 3,000 [D]miles
Through the valleys and the [G]forests [A]
To the sunshine of her [D]smile
