xPLEASE REMOVE ALL OTHER VERSIONS OF O CANADA AND CANADIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM BECAUSE THEY ARE INCORRECT
O Canada
Tabbed by: Brian Bonner
Standard Tuning
I've added in slides, slurs, vibratos, and hammer ons
and pull offs because if you are using the guitar to
play the melody of O Canada, it will sound choppy and
incorrect.
/ or \ = slide
h = hammer on
p = pull off
~ = vibrato

Lyrics From Government of Canada's Homepage:
O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
