Kate Wolf - Streets Of Calgary


CAPO: 5th Fret



INTRO: C  G  F  G  C

                               G
There's a bad storm moving in across the prairie sky
    F                             G                    C
The clouds roll like thunder, the lightning splits the night
                                G
I'm alone with your memory, the darkness and the pain
    Am                                 F                C
The trees are trembling in the wind, I hear the falling rain

                             G
And oh, sweet Maggie Lee, do you remember me?
  F                              G              C
I used to be your sweetheart out by the rolling sea
                                          G
I came here to this prairie town when the stakes were running high
        Am                                          F               C
Now the boom's gone bust, the works played out, the money's running dry


CHORUS:
Am                                F             C
Every day I walk the banks of the ice-fed river Bow
    Am                                   C                 G
And watch the river running east, that's where I'd like to go
     F                                 C               F
I've seen the streets of Calgary, I've known a prairie sky
     Am              F               G                 Am
I've made and lost a fortune since I left and made you cry
    G            C
And now I wonder why


INSTRUMENTAL: F  C  F  Am  F  G  Am  G  C


                                      G
And you said I should have stayed, we might have settled down
        F                                    G                 C
But the western plains they called to me and took me from your town
                                     G
There's not a thing that I can do to stop this falling rain
       Am                          F              C
But if ever I can find a way, I'll hold you once again


CHORUS:
Am                                F             C
Every day I walk the banks of the ice-fed river Bow
  Am                                   C                 G
I watch the river running east, that's where I'd like to go
     F                                 C               F
I've seen the streets of Calgary, I've known a prairie sky
     Am              F               G                 Am
I've made and lost a fortune since I left and made you cry
    G            C
And now I wonder why


CHORUS:
Am                                F             C
Every day I walk the banks of the ice-fed river Bow
  Am                                   C                 G
I watch the river running east, that's where I'd like to go
     F                                 C               F
I've seen the streets of Calgary, I've known a prairie sky
     Am              F               G                 Am
I've made and lost a fortune since I left and said goodbye
    G            C     F G C-G-C
