{ capo on 3rd fret }
D G D
There was a time in this fair land when the railroads did not run
When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun
And long before the white man and long before the wheel
When the green dark forest was too silent to be real
D G D
But time has no beginnings and history has no bounds
As to this verdant country they came from all around
They sailed upon her waterways and they walked the forests tall
And built the mines the mills and the factories for the good of us all
D G D
And when the young man's fancy was turning in the spring
The railroad men grew restless for to hear the hammers ring
Their minds were overflowing with the visions of the day
With many a fortune won and lost and many a debt to pay... For they
A Em
Looked in the future and what did they see
They saw an iron road runnin' from the sea to the sea
A Em
Bringin the goods to a young growin' land
All up from the seaports and into her hands
Look away said they across this mighty land
From the eastern shore to the western strand
A Em
Bring in the workers and bring up the rails
We've gotta lay down the tracks and tear up the trails
A Em
Open 'er heart let the lifeblood flow
Gotta get on our way cause we're moving too slow
A Em
Bring in the workers and bring up the rails
We've gotta lay down the tracks and tear up the trails
A Em
Open 'er heart let the lifeblood flow
Gotta get on our way cause we're moving too slow
C A A7/G
Get on our way cause we're movin' too slow
Behind the blue Rockies the sun is declinin'
The stars they come stealin' at the close of the day
D G A7 D
Across the wide prairie our loved ones lie sleeping
D G A7sus4 D
Beyond the dark oceans in a place far away
D G A7
We are the navies who work upon the railway
D G E A A7
Swingin our hammers in the bright blazin' sun
D G A7
Livin' on stew and drinking bad whiskey
D G A7sus4 D
Bendin' our old backs till the long days are done
D G A7
We are the navies who work upon the railway
D G E A A7
Swingin our hammers in the bright blazin' sun
D G A7
Layin' down track and buildin' the bridges
D A7sus4 D
Bendin' our old backs till the railroad is done
So over the mountains and over the plains
C D
Into the muskeg and into the rain
A Em
Up the St. Lawrence all the way to Gaspe
C D
Swingin' our hammers and drawin' our pay
A Em
Drivin' 'em in and tyin' 'em down
C D
Away to the bunkhouse and into the town
A dollar a day and a place for my head
A drink to the livin' a toast to the dead
Oh the song of the future has been sung, all the battles have been won
O'er the mountain tops we stand, all the world at our command
We have opened up this soil with our teardrops...and our toil... For there
D G D
Was a time in this fair land when the railroads did not run
When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun
And long before the white man and long before the wheel
When the green dark forest was too silent to be real
When the green dark forest was too silent to be real
And many are the dead men too silent... to be real
