[Verse 1]
A  D5
A  D5
A             D5
  Before we built
A               D5
  That smirking airport
A            D5
  Before the phones
Bm                  E
Told us where to go


A            D5
  Before the strike
A            D5
  Before the streetcar
A             D5
  Before we read
Bm             E
Comics on the radio


[Chorus 1]
A        D5
Long before

   A        D5
We found a way
   A         D5      A
To gauge the coldest day


[Verse 2]
A            D5
  Before the flood
A            D5
  Before the treaty
A           D5
  Before we broke
  Bm                E
A promise to appear


A           D5
  Before we drew
A              D5
  The new team logo
A             D5
  Before the taste
   Bm           E
Of Malathion lingered here


[Chorus 2]
A      D5
Way before
   A       D5
We skated down
    A     D5        D
The Eaton Place Parkade


[Interlude]
D  E  D/C#  F#m
D  E  A


[Bridge]
D   E       D/C#  F#m
  Before we built that
D   E        A
  Before the fire

D                      E        
  You were lifted by a blue jay,
D/C#                      F#m
    beating wings above a sea
 (Be-------------------fore the 
treaty)
D                        E       
  With a wave of grazing bison 
    A
and,  tallgrass prairie
 (Be---------------------fore we 
broke)


[Verse 3]
A          D5
  You were set
   A     D5
In sandy soil
    A       D5     A   D5  A  D5
And stand a mighty oak
A       D5     A
Stand a mighty oak
