Canada, she came from Canada
With Prince Edward Island green eyes
And she grew up alone in the family home
While her parents got on with their lives
G C
Her mother swore she'd be dead before
G C
She managed to reach 25
G C
Now she's made 26 and her mum's kissing bricks
G C
In a graveyeard just near Summerside
Am Em C C/B
I'm no loverboy I fumble all through the night
Am Em C
So when she she kissed my mouth I got one hell of a fright
A
I must have been quite a sight
G C
Oh stars shine bright when we look up at night
G C
But they could have died long ago
G C
And in the back of the van down in Brighton-Le-Sands
G C
There's a girl you can barely see glow
G C
Oh Canada
Am Em C C/B
I'm no loverboy I fumble all through the night
Am Em C
So when she she kissed my mouth I got one hell of a fright
A
I must have been quite a sight
C A
Now I lie awake at night and I wonder if what I did was right
G C
Canada, she came from Canada
G C
With Prince Edward Island green eyes
G C
And she grew up alone in the family home
G C
While her parents got on with their lives
G C
Oh Canada...
