INTRO:
NONE
VERSE:
D#m C# G#
He was carried from the water by a solider
D#m C# G#
And the picture screams a thousand different words
D#m C# G#
He was running from the terror with his father
D#m C# G#
Who once believed that nothing could be worse
D#m C# G#
So he'd handed a man two thousand precious dollars
D#m C# G#
The way you'd rest a bird in a lion's open jaw
D#m C# G#
And he told his boys that Canada was waiting
B C#
That there was hope upon her golden shores
CHORUS:
B C#
But at night he said a quiet prayer into the wind
B F# C# D#m
Oh Canada, if you can hear me now
B F# C#
Won't you open up your arms towards the sea?
F# B F# C# D#m
Oh Canada, if you can help me out
B F# C# B F# C# D#m F# C#
All I ever wanted was a safe place for my fam-i-ly
VERSE:
D#m C# G#
Well the days were long but the nights were even longer
D#m C# G#
And the babies never left their mothers' side
D#m C# G#
But the boat was small and the waves were getting stronger
B C#
And they began to fear they'd not survive
D#m C# G#
So the father said 'We gotta hold each other tighter
D#m C# G#
I'm not losing everyone I love tonight
D#m C# G#
And we've come so far I know that out there somewhere
B C#
There's a place where we'll not fear for our lives'
B F# C#
But as he held onto the side of the boat he looked up at the sky
CHORUS:
F# B F# C# D#m
Oh Canada, if you can hear me now
F# B F# C#
Won't you open up your arms towards the sea
B F# C# D#m
Oh my Canada, if you can help me out
F# B F# C# B F# C# D#m B F# C#
The sea is churning I think we're going doooooooooooooooown
