            G                    C 
Leaving the island, out in the Atlantic 
           G                     D 
Travelling westward, peace in my mind 
             G                     C 
Crossing the Gulf Stream into Nova Scotia 
             G            D           G 
Checking the country out,   taking my time

Rested in Charlottetown on PEI 
         G                         C 
Even the East Coast in all of it's beauty

Not even a rich man's   ever goodbye

            G                                 C 
And you can cross the Rocky Mountains and the prairies to the seas

You can show Canadian pride wherever you go

We've gone to Quebec as the evening was fading 
                 G                    D 
Met up with some people who gave me a smile 
                G                              C 
Spent the whole night there, warming up to the lightning waves 
                 G        D                 G 
The flag of this country,   they held it on high

I'm hitching a ride to a place called Toronto 
            G        D                G 
Loving this country,   each and every mile

We've gone to Old Winnipeg, out in Manitoba,

Took in the scenery on Portage and Main. 
                   G                        C 
That ends in Saskatchewan, the pride of the prairies.

West Edmonton, Malta, titanical playground

I tasted the salt air on the docks in Vancouver 
           G                                 D 
Continuous clouds remove, the ships come and leave 
                  G                    C 
A breeze from the ocean, depressing my body 
          G           D        G 
Moving me northwards,   so I believe

From downtown Whitehorse, up in the Yukon 
               G                           D 
The glistening snowcaps, oh, as far as you see

The Arctic on Whitehorse, the northern great Slave Lake

Proudly stands up   for NWT

The lore of this land and the right to your freedom
