D               A
When I walk the hills so high
C          G          D
Around the town where I was born
D                 A
New York seems so far away
       C     G          D
Though I was there just yesterday
D // /  A // /  C / G / D/ //
D                A
I have played on my guitar
   C       G      D      
in coffee houses, halls and bars
D             A
Everyone that I call friend
C           G       D
Knows they will not be forgot
D / / /  A / / /  C / G / D ///
D                      A
Trains and planes and rented cars
C        G          D
Singers, saints and other stars
D              A
I suspect them every one
           C     G           D
Though I'd never change it's too much fun
Refrain:
A                E
Just for now I'd like to rest
G                 D
In the shade of a maple tree
A              E
To the blue Canadian sky
     G                    D
I'll say a prayer for the world out there
E / A / E / A /
D                A
When I stand on my own sod
    C       G           D
It feels so good to be home, by God
D                   A
The winter wind has turned my head
      C       G       D
but I always came up warm somehow
D/ / / A / / / C / G / D / / /
D                  A
Bottles, beads and cigarettes
C       G      D
Lovers that I ain't found yet
D              A
Picking with a friend till dawn
C       G         D
Singing all those hi'way songs
D / / / A / / / C / G / D ///
D / / / A / / / C / G / D ///
(Repeat Refrain; ends held on the A for about a beat longer)
D               A          
When I walk the hills so high
C          G          D
Around the town where I was born
D                 A 
New York seems so far away
       C     G          D
Though I was there just yesterday
D              A
I will travel all my life
   C      G          D
If loneliness is the only price
 D                A
For heading north across that line
       C    G        D
Is the only time I'm flyin'
Repeat verse chord pattern and fade
