Crossroads

Dm

[Verse 1]
      Dm            C     Am     
When first I did appear upon this
         Dm
 native soil
    Dm                Gm      
All up and down this country at 
   C           Dm
labor I did toil
    Dm              C             
I slumbered in the moonlight and I
  Am           Dm
 rose with the sun
   Dm                  Gm         
I rambled through the canyons 
       C          Dm
where the cold rivers run

[Verse 2]
      Dm               C          
When first I did come down where 
    Am            Dm
the land meets the sea
     Dm             Gm            
The people said who are you and 
C                  Dm
what would your name be
   Dm             C       Am     
I said I have no home and I am no
       Dm
 man's son
      Dm            Gm           
'Twas inland I was born and from 
C              Dm
inland that I come

[Chorus]
        Am              Dm
In the good land I was young and I 
was strong
        Am              Dm
No one dared to call me son
       Am
Happy just to see my day's work done

See my day's work done

C Am Dm

[Verse 3]
       Dm               C         
So I swung an axe as a timberjack 
       Am                Dm
and I worked the Quebec mines
    Dm              Gm       C   
And on the golden prairie I rode 
           Dm
the big combines
   Dm                  C         
I sailed the maritime waters of 
Am            Dm
many a seaport town
           Dm              Gm     
Built the highways and the byways 
        C               Dm
to the western salmon grounds

[Verse 4]
      Dm             C            
I've gazed upon the good times 
   Am                 Dm
I've seen the bad times, too
      Dm              Gm          
Felt many a cold and bitter wind 
    C             Dm
and many a mornin' dew
      Dm                   C   
I've watched the country growin' 
          Am              Dm
like a fair and mighty thing
    Dm                 Gm         
And on the still of a summer night
       C                   Dm
 I've heard the mountains ring

[Chorus]
        Am              Dm
In the good land I was young and I 
was strong
        Am              Dm
No one dared to call me son
       Am
Happy just to see my day's work done
                   Dm
See my day's work done

[Verse 5]
    Dm                  C         
But now the seeds are planted and 
     Am             Dm
the gates are open wide
    Dm              Gm             
The old ways are forgotten there's 
C                 Dm
no place left to hide
         Dm         C             
And the legacy I'm leavin' you is 
     Am           Dm
not very hard to find
       Dm           Gm            
You'll see it all around you at 
     C            Dm
this crossroads of time
         C                         
In the sweet soil it's a-growin' at
                    Dm
 the crossroads of time
