Part 1

C                     F
Got A friend in B.C.,
          C                 F
know some winders kissing N.Y.,
  C             F
I wanna buy a motercycle,
    C              F
And cut up to some farm.
          C       Bb      F
Somewhere in this cowshit county,
          C         Bb        F
where the hills are round and green,
          C      Bb        F
round and green, round and green,
          C         Bb        F
where the hills are round and green!
C                          F
Late nights make me really tired,
         C                           F
all this jamming gives me a headaches,
     C            F
like listening to earthquakes,
          C                   F
all wired up for rock and roll,
F         G              C       F
Mama only listens to the radio,
F          G                         C  F Eb  C F Eb
Papa only watches the hockey game,
F           G              C     B/C Am
This suburb rocks with the eddie van Wailers,
             G        F
God save the Queen--  She made you a MORON

Part 2
Intro C/G
C
Well I heard Wendel talking to Dave Hodge last night
   F                G             C
he said that he was confident and keen

he said that Jacques Plante did`nt die

so all of us could glide
             F                G            C
he said that hard work is the ethic of the free.

CHORUS
F                       C
Wendel was a man with a stick in his hands
   G                                       C         G C
he learned how to play in Kelvington S.A.S.K.
       F
You`ll wish that you had died
     C
when Wendel has your hide
          G                          C/G
`cause he does it the Canadian way

C
so now we sit around on the couch and watch T.V.,
           F      G           C
And we see Wendel leading the team
C
If god made Clark on the 7th day,
   F                G           C
He knew what He was doing if He did......If He did!
