          OH CANADA
         MISSY HIGGINS

INTRO:
NONE


VERSE:
    D#mD#m            C#C# G#G#
He was carried from the water by a solider
    D#mD#m                  C#C# G#G#
And the picture screams a thousand different words
    D#mD#m               C#C# G#G#
He was running from the terror with his father
  D#mD#m                  C#C# G#G#
Who once believed that nothing could be worse

    D#mD#m                 C#C# G#G#
So he?d handed a man two thousand precious dollars
       D#mD#m             C#C# G#G#
The way you?d rest a bird in a lion?s open jaw
    D#mD#m             C#C# G#G#
And he told his boys that Canada was waiting

        BB           C#C#
That there was hope upon her golden shores


CHORUS:
    BB                   C#C#
But at night he said a quiet prayer into the wind
  BB F#F#       C#C#   D#mD#m
Oh Canada, if you can hear me now
     BB       F#F#        C#C#
Won?t you open up your arms towards the sea?
F#F# BB F#F#       C#C#   D#mD#m
Oh Canada, if you can help me out
      BB         F#F#     C#C# BB F#F# C#C# D#mD#m F#F# C#C#
All I ever wanted was a safe place for my fam-i-ly


VERSE:
     D#mD#m                   C#C# G#G#
Well the days were long but the nights were even longer
    D#mD#m                C#C# G#G#
And the babies never left their mothers? side
    D#mD#m                    C#C# G#G#
But the boat was small and the waves were getting stronger
      BB            C#C#
And they began to fear they?d not survive

    D#mD#m                  C#C# G#G#
So the father said ?We gotta hold each other tighter
    D#mD#m              C#C# G#G#
I?m not losing everyone I love tonight
     D#mD#m                C#C# G#G#
And we?ve come so far I know that out there somewhere
      BB                 C#C#
There?s a place where we?ll not fear for our lives?
      BB                 F#F#        C#C#
But as he held onto the side of the boat he looked up at the sky

CHORUS:
F#F# BB F#F#       C#C#   D#mD#m
Oh Canada, if you can hear me now
 F#F#    BB       F#F#       C#C#
Won?t you open up your arms towards the sea
    BB F#F#        C#C#   D#mD#m
Oh my Canada, if you can help me out
  F#F#    BB           F#F#  C#C# BB F#F# C#C# D#mD#m BB F#F# C#C#
The sea is churning I think we?re going doooooooooooooooown
