Capo Fret 3
[Intro]
G D/F# Em G Am D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
[Verse 1]
G D/F#
Take a look around you,
The morning sun has found you,
Walking slowly down the highway,
To the sea.
[Verse 2]
G D/F#
And silently you look upon,
The mountains high above you,
Reflect upon the knowledge,
That you’re free.
[Chorus]
This is Canada,
Em Bm
Canada, ooh Canada,
C Bm7 B7
Beauty that I see.
If ever any man,
Could love you like a brother,
C D G
That man is me.
[Intro]
G D/F# Em G Am D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
[Verse 3]
Well listening to the murmur,
Of the bristling running water,
Shining brightly like the sparkling morning dew,
G D/F#
Suddenly you come upon,
Em G
Valley falls below you,
C D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
Showing horizons that are new.
[Chorus]
This is Canada,
Em Bm
Canada, ooh Canada,
The dream can still come true.
If ever any man,
Could promise me the future,
C D G
That land is you.

I walked down,
Down to the station,
G Cmaj7
G Cmaj7
As it rumbles up and down the nation,
G Cmaj7
[Verse 2]
I was thinking of leaving,
The door unbreathin’, (?)
When the whistle blew my name,
And the looks for a leaf,
Through about my mother,
And I missed that Blue man train,
Canadian history,
(Aaah aah aaah),
It was on my mind,
Canadian history,
(Aaah aah aaah),
The federation signed.
[Verse 3]
Am
Hold me down.
With the screams of empires,
And fighting of the railway blues,
F
Walking down the line,
F
With this bottle of wine,
F
Wondering what it’s gonna loose,
Canadian history,
(Aaah aah aaah),
Without a doubt,
Canadian history,
(Aaah aah aaah),
What’s the end result?
[Verse 4]
Now the people are crying,
The leaders trying,
For the great big Canadian Plan,
But it looks like putting,
F
It stands soothin’,
F
We’ll be in hot Uncle Sam,
Canadian history,
(Aaah aah aaah),
What have we won?
Canadian history,
(Aaah aah aaah),
What have we done?

And away,
Away we’d go o oo.

[Verse 1]
All up and down this land,
A
He travelled,
Bm G
Looking for a home,
D Bm
He was all of thirty five,
When he sat out alone,
His soul was burning with a fire,
A curse was on his name,
He was the king,
Of White Otter lake.
[Chorus]
A
Build me a castle she said,
And make it three times over my head,
A
Glass in the windows and paint on the doors,
G D A G D D
Then my darling I will be yours.
[Verse 2]
For many years as seasons changed,
He struggled with his tasks,
D Bm
No one knows how this was done,
Em7 A7
No one stopped to ask,
D A
Higher ever, higher still,
As if he began to rise,
By the shore,
Of White Otter lake.
[Chorus]
A
Build me a castle she said,
And make it three times over my head,
A
Glass in the windows and paint on the doors,
G D A G D D
Then my darling I will be yours.
[Verse 3]
D A
Then one day, a message came,
With words so clear and strong,
D Bm
A letter from his loved one read,
I’ve waited far too long,
D A
You can have your castle fine,
I never shall belong,
To the king,
Of White Otter lake.

[Verse 4]
D A
Now the castle, stands in tribute,
Bm G
But it stands alone,
D Bm
The picket fence has fallen down,
Em7 A7
The weeds around have grown,
But the man whose heart,
And hands became a legend to us all,
Is still the king,
Of White Otter lake.
He is the king,
Of White Otter lake.
[Chorus]
A
Build me a castle she said,
And make it three times over my head,
A
Glass in the windows and paint on the doors,
G D
Then my darling I will be yours.
