It's on the tune that Stan Rogers sing (D).
There's a small intro and the first verse is played before the chorus.
To play in the same tone that Nathan Rogers sing (E), put the capo on the 2nd fret.
Tuning is D A D G B E

[Intro]
Dsus2 D7Msus2 (Repeat)
Dsus2 Dsus2/F#
[Verse 1]
G6 Dsus2
Westward from the Davis Strait
A
'Tis there 'twas said to lie
G6 Dsus2
The sea route to the Orient
A Bsus4/D B7sus4/D
For which so many died
G6 Dsus2
Seeking gold and glory,
A Bsus4/D
Leaving weathered, broken bones
A G6 Dsus2 A Bsus4/D
And a long-forgotten lonely cairn of stones
[Chorus]
A Dsus2 A
Ah, for just one time
G6 Bsus4/D
I would take the Northwest Passage
B7sus4/D G6 Dsus2
To find the hand of Franklin
Em F#7sus4 G6
Reaching for the Beaufort Sea
A/D Dadd9 A/D
Tracing one warm line
G6 Bsus4/D
Through a land so wild and savage
B7sus4/D G6 Dsus2 A Dsus2 Dsus2/F#
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea
[Verse 2]
G6 Dsus2
Three centuries thereafter
A
I take passage overland
G6 Dsus2
In the footsteps of brave Kelso
A Bsus4/D B7sus4/D
Where his "sea of flowers" began
G6 Dsus2
Watching cities rise before me
A Bsus4/D
Then behind me sink again
B7sus4/D G6 Dsus2
This tardiest explorer
Em F#7sus4 G6
Driving hard across the plain
[Chorus]
A/D Dadd9 A/D
Ah, for just one time
G6 Bsus4/D
I would take the Northwest Passage
B7sus4/D G6 Dsus2
To find the hand of Franklin
Em F#7sus4 G6
Reaching for the Beaufort Sea
A/D Dadd9 A/D
Tracing one warm line
G6 Bsus4/D
Through a land so wild and savage
B7sus4/D G6 Dsus2 A Dsus2 Dsus2/F#
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea
[Verse 3]
G6 Dsus2
And through the night, behind the wheel
A
The mileage clicking west
G6 Dsus2
I think upon Mackenzie,
A Bsus4/D
David Thompson and the rest
B7sus4/D G6 Dsus2
Who cracked the mountain ramparts
A Bsus4/D
And did show a path for me
B7sus4/D G6 Dsus2 A Bsus4/D
To race the roaring Fraser to the sea
[Chorus]
A Dsus2 A
Ah, for just one time
G6 Bsus4/D
I would take the Northwest Passage
B7sus4/D G6 Dsus2
To find the hand of Franklin
Em F#7sus4 G6
Reaching for the Beaufort Sea
A/D Dadd9 A/D
Tracing one warm line
G6 Bsus4/D
Through a land so wild and savage
B7sus4/D G6 Dsus2 A Dsus2 Dsus2/F#
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea
[Verse 4]
G6 Dsus2
How then am I so different
A
From the first men through this way?
G6 Dsus2
Like them, I left a settled life
A Bsus4/D
I threw it all away
B7sus4/D G6 Dsus2
To seek a Northwest Passage
A Bsus4/D
At the call of many men
B7sus4/D G6 Dsus2 A Bsus4/D
To find there but the road back home again
[Chorus]
A Dsus2 A
Ah, for just one time
G6 Bsus4/D
I would take the Northwest Passage
B7sus4/D G6 Dsus2
To find the hand of Franklin
Em F#7sus4 G6
Reaching for the Beaufort Sea
A/D Dadd9 A/D
Tracing one warm line
G6 Bsus4/D
Through a land so wild and savage
B7sus4/D G6 Dsus2 A Dsus2
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea
