(Intro – picking on D, then D A G x 2)
D A G
Your father
D A G
went off to war
D A G
And your little sister won't be the same
D A G
as the kids next door
D A G
So goodbye Toronto,
D A G
so long Ontario
D A G
Maybe tomorrow when we go west to start a new home
D A G D A
On our own
G D A G
On our own
D A G
And Old Lefty,
D A G
he never made it too far
D A G D
His oldest, he nearly died in an [?] parked car
A G D
And I'm sorry,
A G D
I didn't show
A G D
I'm not an asshole
A G D A G
I'm just no good at funerals
D A G
So, I'm sorry (I sit here drinking beer out on the lawn)
D A G
You're leaving
watching storms build over south Saskatchewan)
D A G
That story ([?]leave everything we used to love and know)
D A G
Is worth believin' (to make some fresh tracks on the road to [?])

D A G D A G
Five children and some background noise
D A G D
Your brothers, they look the same as your two boys
A G
D A G D A G
Those ashes, they're in the ground
D A G D A G
We left them in a Manitoba town
D A G
I’m sorry (don't you tell me that I'll never be alone)
I didn’t show (don't you tell me that I'll never be alone)
That story (so don't youtell me that I'll never be alone) is
worth believin’ (don't youtell me)
[Guitar solo – mix A and G chords in to finish]
