From: jgoffin@acs.ucalgary.ca (Jeffrey Goffin)CANADIAN RAILROAD TRILOGY by Gordon Lightfoot (This is not the key that Lightfoot uses. I transposed it agesago to fit my voice. Find a key that fits yours. JG)C F CThere was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not runC F GWhen the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sunC F CLong before the white man and long before the wheelC G Bb C Gm C Gm CWhen the green dark forest was too silent to be real.But time has not beginnings and histr`y has no boundsAs to this verdant country they came from all aroundThey sailed upon her waterways and they walked the forests tallBuilt the mines mills and the factories for the good of us all.And when the young man`s fancy was turnin` in the springThe railroad men grew restless for to hear the hammers ring.Their minds were over-flowin` with the visions of their dayAnd many a fortune won and lost and many a debt to pay.There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not runWhen the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sunLong before the white man and long before the wheelWhen the green dark forest was too silent to be real.C G DmFor they looked in the future and what did they see Bb CThey saw an iron road running from the sea to the seaG DmBringin` the goods to a young growin` land Bb CAll up from the seaports and into their handsBring in the workers and bring up the railsWe gotta lay down the tracks and tear up the trailsOpen her heart let the life-blood flowGotta get on our way `cause we`re movin` too slow.Bb GGet on our way `cause we`re movin` too slow. C F GBehind the blue Rockies the sun is declinin` C F D GThe stars they come stealin` at the close of the day. C F GAcross the wide prairies our loved ones lie sleeping C F G CBeyond the dark forest in a place far away.We are the plow-boys who work upon the railwaySwingin` our hammers in the bright blazin` sunLivin` on stew and drinkin` bad whiskeyLayin` down track `til the long days are done. C F G C C Gm C GmYeah, bendin` our backs `til the railroad is done.Gm C Gm CNow the song of the future has been sungC Gm CAll the battles have been won Gm COn the mountain tops we stand Gm CAll the world at our command Gm CWe have opened up the soil Gm GWith our teardrops and our toilThere was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not runWhen the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sunLong before the white man and long before the wheelWhen the green dark forest was too silent to be real.But time has not beginnings and histr`y has no boundsAs to this verdant country they came from all aroundThey sailed upon her waterways and they walked the forests tallBuilt the mines mills and the factories for the good of us all.And when the young man`s fancy was turnin` in the springThe railroad men grew restless for to hear the hammers ring.Their minds were over-flowin` with the visions of their dayAnd many a fortune won and lost and many a debt to pay.There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not runWhen the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sunLong before the white man and long before the wheelC G Bb C When the green dark forest was too silent to be real. G Bb CWhen the green dark forest was too silent to be real. G Bb C Gm C And many are the dead men too silent too be real************************************************************************* "Here`s a song that I like to play. ** Print it out, play it and pass it around. ** If you like it, send me one of your favourites." ** ** Jeffrey Goffin Internet: jgoffin@acs.ucalgary.ca ** Calgary, Alberta, Canada FidoNet: 1:134/160 *************************************************************************
