The Wild Goose

[Verse]
     Am                D7     
On Pukaskwa River so early this 
   Am
morning,
     Am                       D7  
While mending my tumpline I hear 
           Am
the geese calling;
F
Over the brule a long clamoring cry,
F                                 
Flying formation against the grey 
C
sky,
               Am         G7 
Comes the wild goose, the wild 
   Am
goose,
      G7          F            E7
High over the North Shore, and 
        Am Dm Am Dm
I'm going home.

[Verse]
     Am                         D7
And the river is open but the 
        Am
lake's frozen over,

     Am                        D7 
It's time to pack out when so late
       Am
 in October;
F
Winter's a-coming, the wild geese 
know,
F                                 
We've had a long fall and it's 
    C
time to go,
               Am         G7    Am
With the wild goose, the wild goose,
      G7          F            E7
High over the North Shore, and 
        Am Dm Am Dm
I'm going home.

[Verse]
     Am                         
And I've made lots of money, got 
  D7        Am
money to burn,
     Am                      D7   
And when I have spent it I know 
     Am
I'll return;
F
After the freeze-up, when snow is 
dry,
F                                 
For to work in the tall woods - I 
          C
wish that I,
               Am         G7    Am
Were a wild goose, a wild goose,
      G7          F            E7
High over the North Shore, and 
        Am Dm Am Dm
I'm going home.

[Verse]
     Am                        
And I've worked in the bush and 
        D7       Am
spent money in town,
     Am                         D7
I'd like to get married but I 
          Am
can't settle down;
F
At the last portage, when I'll pack 
no more,
F                                 
Let me fly with the wild goose 
               C
high over North Shore,
               Am         G7    Am
With the wild goose, the wild goose,
      G7          F            E7
High over the North Shore, and 
        Am Dm Am Dm
I'm going home.
