[Verse]
D5
Lakeside motel, at the corner gas
G
Y'asked for my help, standing by your van
A
You're barefoot in a Snapback, sippin' on your Iced Capp
G A5
I changed your tires you gave me your name
[Verse]
D5
So I crashed your camp, with some friends of mine
G
Reached for your hand, 1st of July
A
Fireworks on the water, we partied in the harbour
G A5
Blue Rodeo our soundtrack that night
[Chorus]
G D5
We were high on Canadian summer
A D5 G
Makin' friends, crushin' cans, holdin' hands, those Muskoka pines
G D5
You blink and it's over
A F#/C#
Driftwood campfire night in the land of the northern skies
G D5
And ooh, howl at the moon
A D5 G
When I, stumbled in love with you, babe
Bm A
All the magic we made that Canadian summer
[Verse]
D5
Side by side into town with my rusty truck
G
Drivin' somehow, hit mix and makin' out
A
Off-road in a downpour, hand prints on a fogged door
G A5
And I never felt so alive, so alive, yeah
[Chorus]
G D5
Canadian summer
A D5 G
Makin' friends, crushin' cans, holdin' hands, those Muskoka pines
G D5
You blink and it's over

Driftwood campfire night in the land of the northern skies
G D5
And ooh, howl at the moon
A D5 G
When I, stumbled in love with you, babe
Bm A
All the magic we made that Canadian summer
[Bridge]
Bm
I hear a loon on the water
A D5
Out the backdoor of a one-room when you fall asleep
G Bm
Babe, you're still wearing my Hip t-shirt
Bm A D5
Do you think about me when you smell the pine trees
G D5
Oh, I hope you're happy and your heart still burns
D5 G
Ooh-aah
D5 G
Ooh-aah
[Chorus]
G D5
Canadian summer
A D5 G
Makin' friends, crushin' cans, holdin' hands, those Muskoka pines
G D5
You blink and it's over
A F#/C#
Driftwood campfire night in the land of the northern skies
G D5
And ooh, howl at the moon
A D5 G
When I, stumbled in love with you, babe
Bm
All the magic we made
Bm D5
Those were the days, that Canadian summer
