[Intro]
G C D
[Verse 1]
G C D G C D
Canada....What’s with Canada...
G C D
We got great big cities but a lot of trees and rocks
G C D
And ya the winter’s cold here, wear two pairs of socks
G C D
There’s half the world’s fresh water, to paddle your canoe
G C D
Camp along the shoreline, it’s what we like to do...
[Chorus]
G C D
In Canada (oooh)
G C D
I’m livin in Canada (oooh)
G C D
Float my boat in Canada (oooh)
G C D
Bait my hook in Canada (oooh)
[Verse 2]
G C D
We tend to do things different, we each have our routine
G C D
Some of us eat kubassa, some of us, poutine (Ah, J’aime Poutine)
G C D
But we have traditions, that help us stick together
G C D
Our milk comes in a bag, and mosquitos eat at leisure.
Em Bm
Playing in a snowsuit, the True North strong and free
Am D
Hockey Night on Saturday, there on CBC, (or now on Sportsbet)
[Chorus]
G C D G C D
In Canada.. uuuuhh..Sunrise in Canada (coming to you from coast to coast) (oooh)
D G C
He shoots he scores In Canada (ooooh)
D G
I’m a player In Canada
C D
[Verse 3]
G C D
We pronounce the letter R like we’re pirates on a ship
G C D
We’ll drive two thousand miles, on a summer camping trip.
G C D
We wear Sorels in winter, while plugging in the car
G C D
We eat the holes from donuts, we love Nanaimo bars.
Em Bm
And we do possess a word that lubricates our speech:
Am
“It’s pretty good, eh” (“It’s pretty good, eh” )
D
and it’s always within reach..
[Chorus]
G C D
In Canada (oooh)
G C D
How’s it goin In Canada (oooh)
G C D
Out and about In Canada (oooh)
G C D
Drop your G In Canada (oooh)
D
Oh oh oh oh oh…
[Bridge]
C D
I’ve slept out in the forest, scared I heard a bear.
C D
I’ve climbed a Rocky Mountain, just because it’s there,
C D
Crossed the great St Lawrence, said merci beaucoup,
D Bm C D
Pardon me; I’m sorry; excuse me; after you,
[Chorus]
G C D
In Canada (oooh)
G C D
Politely In Canada (oooh)
G C D
Line-up here In Canada (oooh)
G
You don’t butt, In Canada
C D
Oh oh oh oh oh…
[Verse 4]
G C D
Every city empties on the 24th of May. (Queen’s Birthday)
G C D
If we say “Not bad!”, (“Not bad!”) we’re better than OK, (“Not bad!”)
G C D
There’s workman’s comp and pogie, for when we’re shown the door.
G C D
There’s Canadian Tire money, in at least one kitchen drawer
Em Bm
And we have a golden rule that runs between these shores:
Am (stop) D (stop)
You stay out of my face, I’ll stay out of yours…
[Chorus]
G C D
In Canada (oooh)
G C D
I get along In Canada (oooh)
G C D
Kissed the cod In Canada (oooh)
G
The Friendly Giant’s In Canada
C Am (slow)
Oh oh oh oh oh…
[Outro]
D G G
Oh oh…. Canada…….
