[Verse 1]
CF
I have walked 'cross the sand on the Grand Banks of Newfoudland,
CAm7Dm7G7
Lazed on the ridge of the Miramichi.
CF
Seen the waves tear and roar at the stone coast of Labrador,
CG7C
Watched them roll back to the great northern sea
[Chorus]
G7C
From the Vancouver Island to the Alberta Highland,
AmEmD7G7
'Cross the prairie, the Lakes, to Ontario's towers,
C
From the sound of Mount Royal's chimes,
F
Out to the Maritimes,
CG7C
Something to sing about, this land of ours
[Verse 2]
CF
I have welcomed the dawm from the fields of Saskatchewan,
CAm7Dm7G7
Followed the sun to the Vancouver shore.
CF
Watched it climb shiny new up the snow peaks of Cariboo,
CG7C
Up to the clouds where the wild Rockies soar.
[Chorus]
G7C
From the Vancouver Island to the Alberta Highland,
AmEmD7G7
'Cross the prairie, the Lakes, to Ontario's towers,
C
From the sound of Mount Royal's chimes,
F
Out to the Maritimes,
CG7C
Something to sing about, this land of ours
[Verse 3]
CF
I have heard the wild wind sing the places I have been,
CAm7Dm7G7
Bay Bulls and Red Deer and Strait of Belle Isle.
CF
Names like Grand'mére and Silverthrone, Moose Jaw and Marrowbone,
CG7C
Trails of the pioneer, named with a smile.
[Chorus]
G7C
From the Vancouver Island to the Alberta Highland,
AmEmD7G7
'Cross the prairie, the Lakes, to Ontario's towers,
C
From the sound of Mount Royal's chimes,
F
Out to the Maritimes,
CG7C
Something to sing about, this land of ours
[Verse 4]
CF
I have wandered my way to the wildwood of Hudson Bay
CAm7Dm7G7
Treated my toes to Quebec's morning dew.
CF
Where the sweet summer breeze kissed the leaves of the maple trees,
CG7C
Sharing this song that I'm singing to you.
[Chorus]
G7C
From the Vancouver Island to the Alberta Highland,
AmEmD7G7
'Cross the prairie, the Lakes, to Ontario's towers,
C
From the sound of Mount Royal's chimes,
F
Out to the Maritimes,
CG7C
Something to sing about, this land of ours
[Verse 5]
CF
Yes there's something to sing about, tune up a string about,
CAm7Dm7G7
Call out in chorus or quietly hum,
CF
Of a land that's still young with a ballad that's still unsung,
CG7C
Telling the promise of great things to come
[Chorus]
G7C
From the Vancouver Island to the Alberta Highland,
AmEmD7G7
'Cross the prairie, the Lakes, to Ontario's towers,
C
From the sound of Mount Royal's chimes,
F
Out to the Maritimes,
CG7C
Something to sing about, this land of ours
