Something To Sing About

C F C G7 C

[Verse 1]

       C                             F
I have walked 'cross the sand on the Grand Banks of Newfoudland,
C                  Am7    Dm7    G7
Lazed on the ridge of the Miramichi.
         C                          F
Seen the waves tear and roar at the stone coast of Labrador,
C                             G7             C
Watched them roll back to the great northern sea


[Chorus]

         G7                     C
From the Vancouver Island to the Alberta Highland,
           Am           Em          D7     G7
'Cross the prairie, the Lakes, to Ontario's towers,
         C
From the sound of Mount Royal's chimes,
F
  Out to the Maritimes,
C                        G7           C
Something to sing about, this land of ours


[Verse 2]

       C                          F
I have welcomed the dawm from the fields of Saskatchewan,
C                Am7    Dm7       G7
Followed the sun to the Vancouver shore.
           C                      F
Watched it climb shiny new up the snow peaks of Cariboo,
C                          G7           C
Up to the clouds where the wild Rockies soar.


[Chorus]

         G7                     C
From the Vancouver Island to the Alberta Highland,
           Am           Em          D7     G7
'Cross the prairie, the Lakes, to Ontario's towers,
         C
From the sound of Mount Royal's chimes,
F
  Out to the Maritimes,
C                        G7           C
Something to sing about, this land of ours


[Verse 3]

       C                            F
I have heard the wild wind sing the places I have been,
C                 Am7      Dm7             G7
Bay Bulls and Red Deer and Strait of Belle Isle.
           C                            F
Names like Grand'mére and Silverthrone, Moose Jaw and Marrowbone,
C                      G7           C
Trails of the pioneer, named with a smile.


[Chorus]

         G7                     C
From the Vancouver Island to the Alberta Highland,
           Am           Em          D7     G7
'Cross the prairie, the Lakes, to Ontario's towers,
         C
From the sound of Mount Royal's chimes,
F
  Out to the Maritimes,
C                        G7           C
Something to sing about, this land of ours


[Verse 4]

       C                      F
I have wandered my way to the wildwood of Hudson Bay
C               Am7   Dm7           G7
Treated my toes to Quebec's morning dew.
          C                              F
Where the sweet summer breeze kissed the leaves of the maple trees,
C                          G7         C
Sharing this song that I'm singing to you.


[Chorus]

         G7                     C
From the Vancouver Island to the Alberta Highland,
           Am           Em          D7     G7
'Cross the prairie, the Lakes, to Ontario's towers,
         C
From the sound of Mount Royal's chimes,
F
  Out to the Maritimes,
C                        G7           C
Something to sing about, this land of ours


[Verse 5]

            C                        F
Yes there's something to sing about, tune up a string about,
C           Am7       Dm7     G7
Call out in chorus or quietly hum,
     C                              F
Of a land that's still young with a ballad that's still unsung,
C                      G7              C
Telling the promise of great things to come


[Chorus]

         G7                     C
From the Vancouver Island to the Alberta Highland,
           Am           Em          D7     G7
'Cross the prairie, the Lakes, to Ontario's towers,
         C
From the sound of Mount Royal's chimes,
F
  Out to the Maritimes,
C                        G7           C
Something to sing about, this land of ours
