D G A
Up in a meadow in Jasper, Alberta
D C A Asus4
Two men and four ponies on a long lonesome ride
D G A
To see the high country and learn of her people
D C A Asus4 A
The ways that they lived there, the ways that they died
A(addB) D G A
And one is a teacher and one a beginner
D C A Asus4
Just wanting to be there and wanting to know
D G A
And together they're trying to tell us a story
D C A Asus4 A7sus4 A7
That should have been listened to long, long ago
G D
How the life in the mountains is living in danger
C G Em A Asus4
From too many people, too many machines
G D
And the time is upon us, today is forever
C G Em A Asus4 A7sus4 A7 A(addB)
Tomorrow is just one of yesterday's dreams
D A
Cold nights in Canada and icy blue winds
A7 D
The man and the mountains are brothers again
A A7
Clear waters are laughing they sing to the sky
A D A Asus4
The Rockies are living they never will die
A Asus4 A A(addB)
D G A
Up in a meadow in Jasper, Alberta
D C A
Two men and four ponies on a long lonesome ride
Asus4 A7 D
Mmm....
