Capo IV
 Cadd9: x30010

 (Cadd9)If I did not dream who would you be
And if you did not dream who would I be
(G)Yes there is gold (D)in this mountain
(G)This they cannot (D)mine
(C)Tell me who they (Am)need it for
I'll (C)tell you now, they need me more

 O (Em)Canada girls
I have (D)seen you (Am)in your (Em)sweaters
In the (D)late night (Am)sun at (Em)Winnipeg
Growing (D)up with (Am)friends and so un(Em)hurried
With your(D) secrets I believe
Kept in the longer sleeve
Oh (Em)girls (D)(Em)(D)

 (G)Highways seen from (D)hotel windows
(G)Pumping highway (D)blood
(C)If I say they (Am)run from fear
Are (C)things much different standing here

 O (Em)Canada girls
When I (D)saw the (Am)geese flying(Em) north
I re(D)membered the (Am)friends of my (Em)vision
And a (D)sense I (Am)had of (Em)other wings
Like (D)faith, light threaded through a psalm
Like our boys fleeing Vietnam
Oh (Em)girls (D)(Em)(D)

 (G)If I drove up (D)eighty-seven
(G)Up past Montre(D)al
(C)Following the (Am)bluest veins
(C)Following through icy rains
Would (Am)I emerge in the (D)present
And (Am)know just where to be(D)gin
I'm so(Am) sick of forgetting my(D)self to remember who I (Em)am
And (C)you say yeah, but why so (D)cold, and so Canadi(Em)an
(C)I guess it's got to (D)feel like some exodus
And (C)if I succeed, well (D)there will be more of us
And (C)if I don't well I don't really (D)know

 (Em)Girls
Who have (D)found our (Am)unsung (Em)nation
Where we (D)left so much (Am)land to it(Em)self
That (D)everyone (Am)had her own (Em)mountain

 Well if you (D)think of this girl and the dreams that made her
(Cadd9)Write your secrets on hornet nest paper
And blow it hi(D)gh across the (G)border (D)

 Cause (Cadd9)if you did not dream, who would I be
And if I did not dream who would you be

Capo IV

Cadd9: x30010

I first heard this song at a concert, then at another one, then found it online after finding out it was only available on the limited edition of The Green World, of which I already had the not-so-limited edition.

This is in standard tuning, fairly simple and straightforward with the chords and picking pattern, just remember to add the capo. For simplicity and smaller numbers, the fret with the capo on it is 0, the next fret is referred to as 1, and so on. Listen to the recording for rhythm and timing.

This may also not be the best interpretation of how to play the song, but I think it's pretty good. I also did this based on the chords provided by Ron Greitzer, so you can look at that below if you want to come up with your own pattern. Enjoy!

Okay, here Ron and I disagree. He says to throw the D chord in there a bit, I don't, partly 'cause I just think it sounds better with out. Long live Em.

 Oh         girls (D)(Em)(D)

I think you've got the point now with the picking pattern. Now I'm just listing the chord changes as transcribed by Ron. Just a note: with Em, I pick the 6th
string only when it's at the start or finish of a verse, and use the 5th string when it's in the the middle of a verse.

(G)Highways seen from (D)hotel windows
(G)Pumping highway (D)blood
(C)If I say they (Am)run from fear
Are (C)things much different standing here

O (Em)Canada girls
When I (D)saw the (Am)geese flying(Em) north
I re(D)membered the (Am)friends of my (Em)vision
And a (D)sense I (Am)had of (Em)other wings
Like (D)faith, light threaded through a psalm
Like our boys fleeing Vietnam
Oh (Em)girls (D)(Em)(D)

(G)If I drove up (D)eighty-seven
(G)Up past Montre(D)al
(C)Following the (Am)bluest veins
(C)Following through icy rains
Would (Am)I emerge in the (D)present
And (Am)know just where to be(D)gin
I'm so(Am) sick of forgetting my(D)self to remember who I (Em)am
And (C)you say yeah, but why so (D)cold, and so Canadi(Em)an
(C)I guess it's got to (D)feel like some exodus
And (C)if I succeed, well (D)there will be more of us
And (C)if I don't well I don't really (D)know

Girls
Who have found our unsung nation
Where we left so much land to itself
That everyone had her own mountain

On the recording I have, that verse has no guitar, so I deleted the cords. Just see if you can get someone to harmonize with you a bit here.

Well if you (D)think of this girl and the dreams that made her
(Cadd9)Write your secrets on hornet nest paper
And blow it hi(D)gh across the (G)border (D)

Cause (Cadd9)if you did not dream, who would I be
And if I did not dream who would you be
