Intro 
D 


 
                          D 
Never thought I'd see the day 
                          F#7 
Never thought I'd see the plan 
                           Bm 
Where everything could get harder 
A                   G 
For the working man 
                         D 
Yeah, we're better off together 
                         F#7 
We're way better hand in hand 
                 Bm 
But the 49th parallel 
             A                 D 
Has become a line drawn in the sand 
 

 
                      D        G D 
Let me give it to you straight 
                          A       Asus4 A 
When you're talking about my home 
                        Bm 
You better show some respect 
              G                    D   G D 
'Cause up here we take care of our own 
                          D 
So let me give you some advice mister 
                        F#7 
You might have too much on your plate 
                       G 
Go'n load us up with tariffs 
N.C.            Em F#m G         D     F#7 Bm A G 
But we'll never be      the 51st State 
 

 
N.C.            D 
Maybe you've forgotten 
               F#7 
Maybe you just don't care 
                      Bm 
But we always stood beside you 
         G          D 
For that liberty we share 
                       D 
You can push us to the brink 
                        F#7 
But where the open road divides 
                      Bm 
You'll find a wall of maple 
        G            D 
With us on the other side 
 

 
                         D        G D 
So let me give it to you straight 
                          A       Asus4 A 
When you're talking about my home

So let me give you some advice mister 
                        F#7 
You might have too much on your plate 
                          G 
You're welcome across the border 
N.C.            Em F#m G         D 
But we'll never be      the 51st State
