Chorus:
    E MajorE    BB
Ah, for just one time
    C# minorC#m        A augmentedA
I would take the Northwest Passage
  C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
To find the hand of Franklin
     F# minorF#m       E MajorE
Reaching for the Beaufort Sea
    E MajorE    BB
Tracing one warm line
     C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
Through a land so wild and savage
  C# minorC#m       A augmentedA    BB   E MajorE
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea

Verse 1:
C# minorC#m        A augmentedA
Westward from the Davis Strait
   BB      BB
'Tis there 'twas said to lie
  C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
The sea route to the Orient
  BB       C# minorC#m
For which so many died
C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
Seeking gold and glory
    BB         C# minorC#m
Leaving weathered, broken bones
   A augmentedA       BB        C# minorC#m
And a long-forgotten lonely cairn of stones


Chorus:
    E MajorE    BB
Ah, for just one time
    C# minorC#m        A augmentedA
I would take the Northwest Passage
  C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
To find the hand of Franklin
     F# minorF#m       E MajorE
Reaching for the Beaufort Sea
    E MajorE    BB
Tracing one warm line
     C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
Through a land so wild and savage
  C# minorC#m       A augmentedA    BB   E MajorE
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea

Verse 2:
   C# minorC#m      A augmentedA
Three centuries thereafter
 BB      BB
I take passage overland
    C# minorC#m        A augmentedA
In the footsteps of brave Kelso
     BB        C# minorC#m
Where his "sea of flowers" began
     C# minorC#m     A augmentedA
Watching cities rise before me
   BB       C# minorC#m
Then behind me sink again
   A augmentedA     BB
This tardiest explorer
    C# minorC#m       C# minorC#m
Driving hard across the plain


Chorus:
    E MajorE    BB
Ah, for just one time
    C# minorC#m        A augmentedA
I would take the Northwest Passage
  C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
To find the hand of Franklin
     F# minorF#m       E MajorE
Reaching for the Beaufort Sea
    E MajorE    BB
Tracing one warm line
     C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
Through a land so wild and savage
  C# minorC#m       A augmentedA    BB   E MajorE
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea


Verse 3:
  C# minorC#m         A augmentedA
And through the night, behind the wheel
  BB        BB
The mileage clicking west
 C# minorC#m      A augmentedA
I think upon Mackenzie
   BB        C# minorC#m
David Thompson and the rest
  C# minorC#m         A augmentedA
Who cracked the mountain ramparts
  BB        C# minorC#m
And did show a path for me
  A augmentedA        BB       C# minorC#m
To race the roaring Fraser to the sea


Chorus:
    E MajorE    BB
Ah, for just one time
    C# minorC#m        A augmentedA
I would take the Northwest Passage
  C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
To find the hand of Franklin
     F# minorF#m       E MajorE
Reaching for the Beaufort Sea
    E MajorE    BB
Tracing one warm line
     C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
Through a land so wild and savage
  C# minorC#m       A augmentedA    BB   E MajorE
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea


Verse 4:
  C# minorC#m     A augmentedA
How then am I so different
     BB           BB
From the first men through this way?
   C# minorC#m      A augmentedA
Like them, I left a settled life
 BB       C# minorC#m
I threw it all away
  C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
To seek a Northwest Passage
    BB      C# minorC#m
At the call of many men
  A augmentedA         BB       C# minorC#m
To find there but the road back home again


Chorus:
    E MajorE    BB
Ah, for just one time
    C# minorC#m        A augmentedA
I would take the Northwest Passage
  C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
To find the hand of Franklin
     F# minorF#m       E MajorE
Reaching for the Beaufort Sea
    E MajorE    BB
Tracing one warm line
     C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
Through a land so wild and savage
  C# minorC#m       A augmentedA    BB   E MajorE
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea

Ah, for just one time

To find the hand of Franklin

And make a Northwest Passage to the sea
