[Verse 1]
A D5
A D5
A D5
Before we built
A D5
That smirking airport
A D5
Before the phones
Bm E
Told us where to go
A D5
Before the strike
A D5
Before the streetcar
A D5
Before we read
Bm E
Comics on the radio
[Chorus 1]
A D5
Long before
A D5
We found a way
A D5 A
To gauge the coldest day
[Verse 2]
A D5
Before the flood
A D5
Before the treaty
A D5
Before we broke
Bm E
A promise to appear
A D5
Before we drew
A D5
The new team logo
A D5
Before the taste
Bm E
Of Malathion lingered here
[Chorus 2]
A D5
Way before
A D5
We skated down
A D5 D
The Eaton Place Parkade

[Bridge]
D E D/C# F#m
Before we built that
D E A
Before the fire
D E D/C# F#m
You were lifted by a blue jay, beating wings above a sea
(Be-------------------fore the treaty)
D E A
With a wave of grazing bison and, tallgrass prairie
(Be---------------------fore we broke)
[Verse 3]
A D5
You were set
A D5
In sandy soil
A D5 A D5 A D5
And stand a mighty oak
A D5 A
Stand a mighty oak
