G
I was a lonely boy
D                             Bm
Out there searching, couldn't find much joy
C                   D                      G
Too old to fake it, too young to hide it away
G
I played the master thief
D                         Bm
Stealing the lives of the people I'd meet
C            D             G
Fallin' down oh so gracefully


[Pre-Chorus]
          Em
There's a price that must be paid
 Bm
You can't hide out every day
F
Somebody comes along
               D
They blow your cover all away


[Chorus]
Am  G     D         C
Oh, I lay down in a meadow in the sky
Am    G       D           C
And I held my breath as I fell into your eyes
            Am Bm C                Am   Bm    C
I love your hair smells sweet like pure Rocky Mountain air
         Am      Bm           C
Like the big sky shining on a Winnipeg night
 C                      D
Dust in the air and the Northern Lights
D                         C
All in your country wide soul
C                        G
I love your country wide soul


[Verse 2]
G
You sure walk along slow
D                             Bm
That's the only speed I've ever seen you go
C                   D                      G
You take good care of me as the days go by
G
Is that the mail train I see
D                               Bm
Well I hope it's not carrying any news for me
C                   D                  G
I just can't see myself on the company line


[Bridge]
        Bm                      Am
There's another season gone and lord I'm feeling strong
C                               D
Got to find a way to keep this dream dreaming on


[Chorus]
  G     D         C
Oh I lay down in a meadow in the sky
Am    G       D           C
And I held my breath as I fell into your eyes
             Am Bm C                 Am   Bm    C
I love your face well it takes me to so many beautiful places
Am                              D
Driving through the night under Prairie stars
 C                       D
Listening to a band in a St. Johns bar
 C                     D
Down by the water on a Halifax shore
 C                            D
Listening to the wind and the ocean roar
 C                               D
Freight train rolling through the Great Divide
 C                      D
The magic in the mushrooms of PEI
D                         C
All in your country wide soul
C                        G
I love your country wide soul
