Canadian Pacific chords by Hank Snow

Chords with lyrics

C majorC               DmDm
I rode your ocean liner to Newfoundland

    A minorAm            G7G7
Where I made a living in an iron mine

    FF             G7G7
When I got my fill I went to Nova Scotia

   D7D7              G7G7
And I fished the salty waters for a time


    C majorC                  DmDm
Passing through Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick

    A minorAm                G7G7
I could see the rocks and cliffs of solid stone

     FF                G7G7
Listening to the seagulls calling to each other

                    C majorC
Made me miss my darling and my distant home

      DmDm   G7G7       C majorC
Canadian Pacific carry me 3,000 miles

              FF
Through the valleys and the forests

G7G7           C majorC
To the sunshine of her smile

                DmDm
Cross the plains and the rugged mountains

G7G7              C majorC
Keep this wandering boy from harm

     FF    G7G7          C majorC
Canadian Pacific take me to my baby's arms


                DmDm
The Atlantic disappeared on the horizon

  A minorAm                 G7G7
And Quebec lay waiting for me down the track

   FF                 G7G7
For a while I drove a truck to keep from starving

  D7D7          G7G7
In Ontario I was a lumberjack

  C majorC             DmDm
Manitoba and Saskatchewan then followed

     A minorAm                 G7G7
Where the wheat fields and the old Red River flowed

    FF                 G7G7
In the quiet hours your whistling on the prairie

                   C majorC
Touched my heart and set my memories aglow


                      DmDm
I could feel the nearness of her warm sweet kisses

     A minorAm              G7G7
When you rolled into Alberta westward bound

     FF             G7G7
I worked on an oil rig to make some money

   D7D7             G7G7
For a ticket to the sweetest girl around


C majorC                   DmDm
Pushing on past Lake Louise in all its splendor

     A minorAm               G7G7
Where the trees and Rockies touch the sky above

   FF            G7G7
I got to British Columbia and heaven

                    C majorC
On your track I made it back to my true love


      DmDm   G7G7       C majorC
Canadian Pacific carry me 3,000 miles

              FF
Through the valleys and the forests

G7G7           C majorC
To the sunshine of her smile

                DmDm
Cross the plains and the rugged mountains

G7G7              C majorC
Keep this wandering boy from harm

     FF    G7G7          C majorC
