Girl in Saskatoon

Intro: BB F#F# BB

BB               F#F#      BB
I left a little town a little south of Hudson Bay
                 C#C#        F#F#
I couldn't find a thing to make a rounder want to stay
 BB                 E MajorE           BB
I fought the wind across the barren waste and the crystal dunes
            F#F#       BB
Goin' for to marry the girl in Saskatoon

              F#F#         BB
I'm glad I realized that no one could take her place
                   C#C#       F#F#
My heart was beatin' for her like the winter beat my face
  BB                E MajorE        BB
But knowin' that I'd see her made my spirit bright as June
                   F#F#      BB
I'm freezin' but I'm burnin' for the girl in Saskatoon

A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA

E MajorE       A augmentedA
South and west and followin' the cold December sun
                   BB       E MajorE
I bedded down in the caragana when my daily trek was done
   A augmentedA               D MajorD          A augmentedA
Then up and pressin' onward by the light of the morning moon
              E MajorE      A augmentedA
A majorA prodigal returnin' to the girl in Saskatoon

BB F#F# BB

F#F#         BB
Then I found a trail that had packed beneath the snow
                 C#C#       F#F#
I made the final miles where the prairie lilies grow
 BB               E MajorE       BB
A augmentedA steeple on a church glistened by the prairie moon
                   F#F#      BB
I'm freezin' but I'm burnin' for the girl in Saskatoon
                  F#F#       BB
But my journey was forgotten when I held her in my arms
                C#C#       F#F#
My wonderlust was stifled by possession of her charms
  BB                  E MajorE         BB
And kneeling neath the steeple where we couldn't wait till June
                F#F#      BB
I found eternal spring with the girl in Saskatoon
