Stompin Tom Connors - Manitoba Chords

         A   
When you mention Manitoba, 
        D         
I'll be mindful of the prairies,
       A                                E     
To the province where the old Red River flows,
         A       
It's the land of shining water, 
          D   
where the beaver and the otter,
       A                 E7             A          
Play to-gether where the Prairie Crocus grows.
***Chorus
    D                A      
Mani-toba, you're my sunshine,
   D               A      
My twilight, and re-pose,
    D                A      
Mani-toba, you're my heaven,
  D           A                E7             A           
Be-cause it's heaven where the Prairie Crocus grows.
A                          
When you mention Manitoba, 
        D    
I'll be mindful of her beauty,
       A                              E      
In the evening when the sunset fades a-way,
        A   
And the moon of golden glimmer, 
       D     
on the wheat field seems to shimmer,
        A                    E7             A          
And the night bird sings the closing of the day.
***Chorus
A                                  D   
When you mention Manitoba, I'll be mindful of the valleys,
        A                           E      
And the old brown hills calling me a-way,
          A   
Where the favours of our giver, 
       D    
dwell a-mong the lakes and rivers,
         A                E7               A          
***Chorus
