[Intro]
E  D   A  B   (x6)
 
[Verse 1]
E                      A
 Born and raised in a prairie town
E                      A
 Just a kid full of dreams
E                           A
 We didn't have much but an old radio
E                                   A
 Music came from places we'd never been
E               A
Growing up in a prairie town
E                         A
Learning to drive in the snow
E                          A
Not much to do so you start a band
E                                       A
And soon you've gone as far as you can go
 
[Chorus 1]
E                 D     A                 B
Winter nights are long, summer days are gone
E           D             A G# A B
Portage and Main fifty below
E                    D     A             B
Springtime melts the snow, rivers overflow
E           D             A G# A B
Portage and Main fifty below
E           D             A G# A B
Portage and Main fifty below
 
[Solo]
E  D   A  B   (x2)
 
[Verse 2]
E                     A
 All the bands in a prairie town
E                          A
 Try to outdo the next in line
E                          A
 Learning records out of Liverpool
E                              A
 Dreams of England on their Minds
E                      A
On the other side of Winnipeg
E                                A
Neil and The Squires played the Zone
E                              A
But then he went to play for a while in Thunder Bay
E                                            A
He never looked back and he's never coming home
 
[Chorus 2]
E                 D     A                 B
Winter nights are long, summer days are gone
E           D             A G# A B
Portage and Main fifty below
E                    D     A             B
Springtime melts the snow, rivers overflow
E           D             A G# A B
Portage and Main fifty below
E           D             A G# A B
Portage and Main fifty below
E           D             A G# A B
Portage and Main fifty below
E           D             A G# A B
Portage and Main fifty below
 
[Solo]
E  D   A  D   (x8)
 
[Verse 3]
E                    A
Just a band from a prairie town
E                                  A
Sometimes we'd drive from coast to coast
E                         A
One call from LA and we'd pack and fly away
E                                       A
But in our hearts we're always prairie folk
E                  A
Looking back at a prairie town
E                         A
People ask me why I went away
E                                   A
To fly with the best, sometimes you have to leave the nest
E                                    A
But the prairies made me what I am today
 
[Chorus 3]
E                 D     A                 B
Winter nights are long, summer days are gone
E           D             A G# A B
Portage and Main fifty below
E                    D     A             B
Springtime melts the snow, rivers overflow
E           D             A G# A B
Portage and Main fifty below
E           D             A G# A B
Portage and Main fifty below
E           D             A G# A B
Portage and Main fifty below
E           D               A G# A B
You stay inside and Rock n Roll
 
[Solo]

[1/2 Chorus]
E           D             A G# A B
Portage and Main fifty below
E           D             A G# A B
Portage and Main fifty below
E           D             A G# A B
Portage and Main fifty below
E           D             A G# A B
Portage and Main fifty below
