[Verse 1]
[C]I r[Am]ode y[C]ou[Am]r[C]
ocean liner to New[G]foundland,
Where I [Am]made a living in an iron [G]mine.
When I [F]got my fill I went
to Nova Sco[G]tia,
And I [D]fished the salty waters for [G]a time.
[Em]Pass[G]ing

[Verse 2]
[C]through Prince Edward
Island and New [G]Brunswick,
I [Am]could see the rocks and
cliffs of solid [G]stone.
Listening [F]to the seagulls
calling to each [G]other
Made me miss my darling and
my distant [C]home.

[Verse 3]
Canadian [Dm]Pacific,
[G]carry me three thousand mil[C]es,
Through the valleys and [F]the forests,[G]
To the sunshine of [C]her smile,
'Cross the plains and the
rugged [Dm]mountain[G]s,
Keep this wandering boy from [C]harm.
Canadian Pa[F]cific,
[G]take me to my baby's arm[C]s.

[Verse 4]
The [C]Atlantic disappeared on the ho[G]rizon,
And Que[Am]bec lay waiting for
me down the track[G].
For [F]a while I drove a truck
to keep from [G]star-ving.
In In [D]Ontario I was a lumber-jack.

[Verse 5]
[G]Man-itoba [Em]and [C]and
Saskatchewan then [G]followed,
Where [Am]the wheat fields and
the old Red River [G]flowed.
In [F]the quiet hours your whistling on [G]the prairie,
Touched my heart and set
my memories aglow.
[C]

[Verse 6]
[Db]
I could feel the nearness of her warm,
sweet [Ab]kisses,
When you [Bbm]rolled into Alberta westward [Ab]bound.
I worked [Gb]on an oil rig to make some mo[Ab]ney,
For a tick[Eb]et to the sweetest
girl [Ab]around.[Fm]

[Verse 7]
Pushing [Db]on past Lake Louise
in all [Ab]it's splendor,
Where [Bbm]the trees and Rockies
touch the sky [Ab]above,
I got to [Gb]British Columbia and [Ab]heaven,
On your track I made it back
to my true [Db]love.

[Verse 8]
Canadian [Ebm]Pa cific,
[Ab]carry me three thousand mile[Db]s,
Through the valleys and [Gb]the forests,[Ab]
To the sunshine of [Db]her smile.
'Cross the plains and the
rugged [Ebm]mountains,
[Ab]Keep this wandering
boy from [Db]harm.
Canadian Pa[Gb]cific,
[Ab]take me to my baby's arms.[Db]
