Hank Snow - Canadian Pacific Chords

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
