lyrics

My Canada (Capo 4)

This (G) heaven is my (C) Canada so proud so (F) wide
I've seen (C) marshes, woodlands, rockies, fields and rising (F) tides
Seen a (G) lot of worlds I've (C) known go to waste now in my (F) time
But I will (C) not be blind to the (Am) crimes (G) against my (F) country.(C)

And (G) As I go through this (C) old world so far from(F) here
The (C) horizons, lakes, and futures never seem as (F) clear
as the (G) rapture of the (C) hinterland I hold so (F) dear
I will (C) not be blind to the (Am) crimes (G) against my (F) country.(C)

To (G) keep this land (C) preserved, protected from (F)tyranny
(C) Govenments and policy raise fears in (F) me
I (C) hope someday to simply see my children(F) grow
In this(C) place that I call (Am) Can(G)ada my(F) life and (C) home.

It's (G) not too hard to (C) imagine papers being (F) signed
By the (C) stiff suits we'll elect because the saints (F) resign
And the(G) bulldozers (C) beating all the very(F) fields
That our (C) forebears served for (Am) many (G)years for (F) many (C) yields

And the (G) woods and fields all (C) gone to fire and condmen(F)ation
(C) Wetlands, marshes gone to fire and (F) excavations
and the (G) youth in suits who (C) grow to learn to love the (F) crimes
but I will (C) not be blind to the (Am) crimes (G) against my (F) country. (C)

This (G) heaven is my (C) Canada so proud so (F) wide
I've seen (C) marshes, woodlands, rockies, fields and rising (F) tides
Seen a (G) lot of worlds I've (C) known go to waste now in my (F) time
But I will (C) not be blind to the (Am) crimes (G) against my (F) country.(C)

Bandcamp generously sends 85% of your support directly toward my humble living expenses.

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.

For best audio results, download music at minimum 320 MP3. WAV is best. Thanks 🙏 ... more
