OH CANADA

CAPO: NONE


INTRO: (SPOKEN)
D#m
More informatiomn has come to light about 3 year old
Syrian boy Alan Kurdi whose body was found recently washed
up on a beach in Turkey. Refugee advocates now say his
families ultimate goal was to reach asylum in Canada.


VERSE:
D#m C# G#
He was carried from the water by a soldier
D#m C# G#
And the picture screams a thousand different words
D#m C# G#
He was running from the terror with his father
D#m C# G#
Who once believed that nothing could be worse


D#m C# G#
So he’d handed a man two thousand precious dollars
D#m C# G#
The way you’d rest a bird in a lion’s open jaw
D#m C# G#
And he told the boys that Canada was waiting

B C#
That there was hope upon her golden shores
B C#
But at night he said a quiet prayer into the wind


CHORUS:

B F# C# D#m
Oh Canada, if you can hear me now
F# B F# C#
Won’t you open up your arms towards the sea?
F# B F# C# D#m
Oh Canada, if you can help me out
F# B F# C# B F# F# C# D#m B F# C#
All I ever wanted was a safe place for my fam-i-ly


VERSE:
D#m C# G#
Well the days were long but the nights were even longer
D#m C# G#
And the baby boys never left their mothers’ side
D#m C# G#
But the boat was small and the waves were getting stronger
B C#
And they began to fear they’d not survive

D#m C# G#
So the father said “We gotta hold each other tighter
D#m C# G#
I’m not losing everything I love tonight
D#m C# G#
And we’ve come so far I know that out there somewhere
B C#
There’s a place where we won't have to fear for our lives”
B F# C#
But as he held onto the side of the boat he looked up at the sky


CHORUS:
F# B F# C# D#m
Oh Canada, if you can hear me now
F# B F# C#
Won’t you open up your arms towards the sea
F# B F# C# D#m
Oh my Canada, if you can help me out
F# B F# C# B F# C# D#m B F# C#
The sea is churning I think we’re going doooooooooooooooown


F# B F# C# D#m
Oh Canada, if you can hear me now
B F# C#
Won’t you open up your arms towards me
B F# C# D#m
Oh, anyone please help me out
B F# C# B F# C# D#m B F# C#
All I ever wanted was a safe place for my familyyyyyyyyyyy


OUTRO:
D#m C# G#
There’s a million ways to justify your fear
D#m C# G#
There’s a million ways to measure out your words
D#m F# C#
But the body of Alan being laid upon the sand
B
Tell me how do you live with that?
