Chorus 
         D            Bm         G                  D 
I've got Canada in my pocket – a little bit of history 
  D                          Bm                         G              A 
A penny, and a nickel, and a quarter, and a dime mean a lot to you and me 
     G                D                   G              A 
It's more than pocket money - they're the symbols of our land 
        D             Bm                 G          A       D 
They're pictures of important things for which this country stands 

    D               Bm                G                  D 
The maple leaf, the maple leaf - is a beautiful sight to see! 
   D                 Bm                G                 A 
It waves 'hello' to us below from the branch of a maple tree 
         G               D         G                  A 
And with every year that passes it grows like you and me 
   D                  Bm                         G      A     D 
So should we all grow straight and tall like the lovely maple tree 

Chorus 
    D              Bm            G                  D 
The beaver, oh the beaver - is a beautiful sight to see 
D                   Bm             G               A 
He's a happy, furry animal, like a teddy bear with teeth 
     G          D        G                   A 
He's never ever lazy; he works all night and day 
         D              Bm           G      A       D 
Building houses for his family, he's got no time to play 

Chorus 
    D                Bm              G                  D  
The schooner, oh the schooner - is a beautiful sight to see! 
D                       Bm                    G               A 
It's a great big wooden sailing ship that can sail across the sea 
   G               D             G                   A 
It brings to other countries the things their people need 
    D                       Bm                 G         A     D 
And brings back things like chocolate bars and books for us to read 

Chorus 
    D            Bm             G                  D 
The caribou, the caribou - is a beautiful sight to see! 
D                        Bm          G                A 
He's a really big strong animal, I'm sure you'll all agree 
   G                  D               G                            A 
He looks like Santa's reindeer and he loves it when the wind blows cold 
      D                       Bm                    G         A       D 
So he lives up north with the polar bears ‘cause he likes the ice and snow

He looks like Santa's reindeer and he loves it when the wind blows cold
