Intro: D A G D A
E B
Sign said 40 miles to Canada
C#m A
My truck tore across Montana
E B C#m A
Ian Tyson sang a lonesome lullaby
E B
And so I cranked up the radio
C#m A
Cause there's just a little more to go
E B A B
For I cross the border at that Sweet Grass sign
I'm Alberta bound
E B
This piece of heaven that I've found
A B
Rocky Mountains and black fertile ground
E B A
Everything I need beneath that big blue sky
C#m B
Doesn't matter where I go
A B
This place will always be my home
C#m B A
Yeah I've been Alberta bound for all my life
B E <--(D on chorus 2)
And I'll be Alberta bound until I die
E B
It's a pride that's been passed down to me
C#m A
Deep as coal mines, wide as farmer's fields
E B C#m A
Yeah, I've got independence in my veins
E B
Maybe it's my down-home redneck roots
C#m A
Or these dusty 'ol Alberta boots
E B A
But like a Chinook wind keeps coming back again
CHORUS
