[Verse 1]
A
East of beautiful Alberta
D A
North of old Montan'
E A A/G# F#
The livings fine, when the springtime's kind
B E
To a bovine raising man
A
Where they sort 'em, and stretch 'em, and tail 'em down
A D
Like they did in days gone by
D A
And good slab fence, and common sense
E A
Are ne'er in short supply
[Verse 2]
A
Where the iron still hits the fire
D A
And the rope's thrown straight and true
E A A/G# F#
And they scorch their hides, till upon their sides
B E
The brand is showing through
A
And the spring time turns with the coulee's curve
A D
And it's summer once again
D A
Whoopi ti yi yo, at the rodeo
E A
And we pray our buddies win
[Chorus]
E
It's Western swing and waltzes
D A
Like to wear out your boots
E
It's horsehair floors, and Louis L'Amour
B E
After they close the chutes
A
When they've rode up all the rank ones
A D
And the chucks are out of sight
D A
It's Western swing and waltzes'
E A
In Saskatchewan tonight
[Interlude]
(same as the verses)

[[Chorus]
E
It's Western swing and waltzes
D A
Like to wear out your boots
E
It's horsehair floors, and Louis L'Amour
B E
After they close the chutes
A
When they've rode up all the rank ones
A D
And the chucks are out of sight
D A
It's Western swing and waltzes'
E A
In Saskatchewan tonight
D A
It's Western swing and waltzes'
E A
In Saskatchewan tonight
[Outro]
