                    OH CANADA
                  MISSY HIGGINS

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
