Canadian Pacific Chords

CANADIAN PACIFIC - Capo 1
 
 
E                          B                      E                        B
I rode your ocean liner to New Foundland, where I made a living in an iron mine
        A                         B             E                              B
When I got my fill I went to Nova Scotia, and I fished them salty waters for a time
        E                                    B                  E                                  B
Passing through Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick, I could see them rocks and cliffs of solid stone
          A                               B                                            E
Listening to the seagulls calling to each other, made me miss my darling and my distant home....
 
 
Chorus
         B                         E
Canadian Pacific....carry me 3000 miles
                         A        B                      E
Thru the valleys and the forests, to the sunshine of her smile
                            B                                       E
Cross the plains and rugged mountains, keep this wanderin' boy from harm
         A        B                       E
Canadian Pacific.....take me to my baby's arms
 
E                               B            E                                  B
The Atlantic disappeared on the horizon, and Quebec lay waiting for me down the track
    A                                   B            A                     B
For awhile I drove a truck to keep from starvin', in Ontario I was a lumberjack
   E                           B                   E                                  B
Manitoba and Saskatchewan then followed, where the wheat fields and the old Red River flowed
       A                               B                   A                         B
In the quiet hours your whistle on the prairie, touched my heart and set my memories aglow
 
        E                                    B                 E                             B
I could feel the nearness of her warm , soft, kisses, when you rolled into Alberta westward bound
         A                          B            E                            B
I worked on an oil rig to make some money, for a ticket to the sweetest girl around
        E                              B                    E                                 B
Pushing on past Lake Louise in all its splendour, where the trees and Rockies touched the sky above
      A                       B                                                 E
I got to British Columbia and heaven , on your tracks I made it back to my true love
 
Chorus
         B                        E
Canadian Pacific....carry me 3000 miles
                         A       B                       E
Thru the valleys and the forests, to the sunshine of her smile
                            B                                           E
Cross the plains and rugged mountains, you kept this wanderin' boy from harm
         A      B                            E
Canadian Pacific.....you took me to my baby's arms
         B                        E
Canadian Pacific....carry me 3000 miles.......   FADE
