  E

  Well I was born up north of Great Slave, 1898,

        A

  and I rode near all my life on a ranch near Devil's Gate.

           E

  And I've seen this world about me bend and flip and change.

                    B                        A

  Hey it feels like rain -- that's a thundercloud.

       E

  Well I've been called a coward, but I've seen two World Wars.

      A

  And I lost my son Virgil, a Korean reward.

         E

  And my Lucy died last summer. You ask me if I cry,

                      B                            Cm

  Hell, I'll show you tears: they're all over this ground,

          A                  B            E

  they're falling from these blue Alberta skies.

  

  

  Chorus:

  

  E                   B

  We're gonna ride forever,

  Cm                           A

  You can't keep horsemen in a cage.

                    E                    B

  Should the angels call, well it's only then

                       A

  We might pull in the reins.

  

  

           E

  Now they tell me I'm an old man, they tell me I am blind.

       A

  They took my driver's license, this house ain't far behind.

          E

  I said "Jump back all you big suits, you got something wrong

                 B                A

  'cause I ain't gone. No I ain't gone."

  E

  I am still breathing, and I still have my pride.

  A

  And I have my memories, your life it never dies.

           E

  Like the wind that blows in thunder, like the stallion on the fly

           B                     Cm

  I got it all, and I'm standing tall

  A                B            E

  Underneath these blue Alberta skies.

  

  [chorus]

  

       E

  So I say to all you old men: Don't let yourselves get broke.

         A

  If you think the world's gone crazy and it's scratching at your throat

               E

  it's time to dust off that old saddle and get it on a horse.

               B                           Cm

  Kick up your spurs: we're gonna run like stink

              A                 B            E

  We're gonna tear across these blue Alberta skies.

  

  [chorus]
