[Intro 1]
[D][Am][C][G][D]
[Am][C][G][D]

[Verse 1]
In [D]southern Ontario,
Canada
Where [Am]I come from
The [C]roads are long and flat
[G]And str[D]ange
And you can drive your muscle car
As [Am]fast as you want to
As [C]far as you want to
[G]For as [D]long as you can
And on Sunday mornings
In [Am]every little town
you [C]see the migrant [G]workers,
[D]the Jamaican boys
and the Mex[Am]ican boys
Dressed [C]in white shirts and [G]Sunday ties
[D]an d hard Sunday shoes
And all the Christian farmers
[Asus4][Am]
Packin' [C]them up in their stretch vans
[G]And takin' them [D]to church
And on Sunday afternoons
They're back [Am]in the fields
With [C]their hoes in their [G]hands[D]
And on Monday mornings
In the field[Am]s of silent Ontario,
you can see [C]the families
with their [G]backs bent in [D]the sun
And fathers and mothers,
and sis[Am]ters and brothers,
and [C]little children, [G]little chil[D]dren
On a Friday night [Am]in every little town
The [C]phone booths are lined up
[G]four to five deep
[D]And the Jamaican boys
and the Mexic[Am]an boys
Callin' [C]home at [G]7 .75 an h[D]our
Just to tell them back there
How much [Am]they love them,
how much they mis[C]s them
And [G]how much they wish
they could be [D]there
In southern Ontario, Canada,
where [Am]I come from
You can drive [C]your muscle [Em]car
as [G]far as you want [D]to
Cause the roads are long and [Am]flat
and strange
[C][G][D]
