Canadian Pacific

Written by Ray Griff

	  		
C                             Dm 
I rode your ocean liner to Newfoundland 

        Am                       G7 
Where I made a living in an iron mine 

       F                          G7 
When I got my fill I went to Nova Scotia 

      D7                            G7 
And I fished the salty waters for a time 


        C                                    Dm 
Passing through Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick 

        Am                                G7 
I could see the rocks and cliffs of solid stone 

          F                               G7 
Listening to the seagulls calling to each other 

                                       C 
Made me miss my darling and my distant home 


           Dm     G7             C 
Canadian Pacific  carry me 3,000 miles 

                            F 
Through the valleys and the forests 

G7                     C 
To the sunshine of her smile 

                                Dm 
Cross the plains and the rugged mountains 

G7                           C 
Keep this wandering boy from harm 

         F       G7                   C 
Canadian Pacific take me to my baby's arms 


                                Dm 
The Atlantic disappeared on the horizon 

    Am                                 G7 
And Quebec lay waiting for me down the track 

      F                                  G7 
For a while I drove a truck to keep from starving 

   D7                    G7 
In Ontario I was a lumberjack 


    C                          Dm 
Manitoba and Saskatchewan then followed 

          Am                                 G7 
Where the wheat fields and the old Red River flowed 

       F                                 G7 
In the quiet hours your whistling on the prairie 

                                     C 
Touched my heart and set my memories aglow 


                                            Dm 
I could feel the nearness of her warm sweet kisses 

         Am                           G7 
When you rolled into Alberta westward bound 

         F                          G7 
I worked on an oil rig to make some money 

      D7                          G7 
For a ticket to the sweetest girl around 


C                                      Dm 
Pushing on past Lake Louise in all its splendor 

          Am                              G7 
Where the trees and Rockies touch the sky above 

      F                       G7 
I got to British Columbia and heaven 

                                        C 
On your track I made it back to my true love 


           Dm     G7             C 
Canadian Pacific  carry me 3,000 miles 

                            F 
Through the valleys and the forests 

G7                     C 
To the sunshine of her smile 

                                Dm 
Cross the plains and the rugged mountains 

G7                           C 
Keep this wandering boy from harm 

         F       G7                   C 
Canadian Pacific take me to my baby's arms
