 #Springtime In Alberta
 #=====================
 #by: Ian Tyson
 #
 #
 #capo 3rd fret
 #
 #Verse 1:
 # 

 --------
 
 

 #
 #G (strum once) D
 #Should've seen it in your eyes
 D                       G    
 I could never read your eyes'
 G                   D 
 So lost in love was I
 D                        G    
 It always takes me by surprise
 G                        C         
 You were dreamin' of the south land
 C                           
 How your love comes and goes
 C                  G           
 It's just like the weather babe
 G                  Am   
 Only heaven really knows
 
 
 Chorus:

 -------
 
 

 
 Am                        D    
 Just like springtime in Alberta
 D                       G            
 Warm sunny days and the skies of blue
 G              D      
 Then without a warning
 D                          G             
 Another winter storm comes ragin' through
 G                 C      
 And the mercury's fallin'
 C             Bm   G 
 I'm left all alone 
 G               Am   D 
 Springtime in Alberta
 D                G   
 Chills me to the bone
 
 
 Verse 2:

 --------
 
 

 
 G (strum once) D
 I can see the storm clouds coming
 D                            G  
 Lord they're dark across the sky
 G                       D                 
 The same look that I've seen so many times
 D                          G   
 When I've looked into your eyes
 G                      C     
 So I'll turn up my old collar
 C                       
 Pull my hat way down low
 C                     G         
 Oh the wind's gettin' colder now
 G                      Am 
 Droppin' down to near zero
 
 
 Repeat Chorus:

 --------------
 
 

 
 Em              Am   D 
 Springtime in Alberta
 D G D G (strum each chord once to end)
 Chills me to the bone
