CLEARLY CANADIAN
By: George Fox
Album: Mustang Heart
D
When I woke up in the Yukon
G
I knew that I was living
D A
In a country that I could grow to love
D
But I wandered out of Whitehorse
G
Took a train down to Prince George
D A
I fianlly left but not without a shove
D
Sailed day and night
A D
Around Vancouver Island, BC
G
That's when the west coast
D
became a part of me
G
That old full moon looked good
D
>From everywhere I stood
A
>From Hudson Bay
C A
All the way to the Rockies
CHORUS:
G D A
I'm clearly Canadian
D C A
This country always gets the best of me
G D A
I'm clearly Canadian
C
Where stars burn bright
D
Over snow so white
C A
Under northern lights, you can bury me
I sailed the Arctic Ocean
On my way to Nova Scotia
And I got a taste of the midnight sun
J'ai entendu le voila chante
Je me suis mis a dancer
In french or in english it was fun
J'ai dit salut
and I rode the old St. Lawrence out to sea
Newfoundland was paradise to me
That old moon looked good
>From everywhere I stood
>From Hudson Bay
All the way to the Rockies
CHORUS
My memories of Cape Breton
I won't soon be forgetting
Going 'down north' on the
Old Atlantic shore
But I yearned for the flatland
Sweet old Saskatchewan
Had me heading west before too long
Then I made some miles
and caught the Blue Jays flying in the
skydome
But I'm finally back in my
Alberta home
That old full moon looked good
>From everywhere I stood
>From Hudson Bay
All the way to the Rockies
CHORUS
G D A
I'm clearly Canadian (X3)
D C G
This country always gets the best of me!
