Canadian sunset
View chords used in this chart
E6 - E
Once I was alone, so lonely and then
A Am7 E6 - E B7
You came out of nowhere, like the sun up from the hills;
E6 - E
Cold, cold was the wind; warm, warm were your lips,
A Am7 E6 - E
Our there on that ski trail where your kiss filled me with thrills.
Bridge:
A B7 E
A weekend in Canada, a change of scene,
A B7 E
Was the most I bargained for;
A B7 E C#m
And then I discovered you, and in your eyes
G#m C#m7/5- F#m B7
I found a love that I couldn't ignore.
E6 - E
Down, down went the sun; fast, fast beat my heart.
A Am7 E6 - E B7 E
I knew when the sunset, from that day we'd never, ever part.
