Well, me and the girl we had a little farm south of the river road.
  C majorC              Bb majorBb            FF      C majorC
A augmentedA little single shack and some cattle in the barn and we grew our own food.
  C majorC       Bb majorBb      FF         C majorC
We didn't have any money but it never crossed our minds
  C majorC             Bb majorBb        FF          C majorC
We grew to share and we were happy there just watching the years go by.

Verse

Until one day I come home there was a big black car parked out of my back door
   C majorC           Bb majorBb         FF          C majorC
And a government man with a fat cigar said we couldn't live there anymore
      C majorC       Bb majorBb    FF          C majorC
Said they'd pay us for the land but never for the work we did
        C majorC           Bb majorBb         FF        C majorC
And they were gonna turn it in to a holiday park and a drag-strip for the kids

I told him, I would meet him on the Indiana road with a gun in my hand but he never showed
C majorC         Bb majorBb       FF         C majorC
Said he couldn't bring himself to sink himself that low
C majorC          Bb majorBb            FF          C majorC
I told him, I would meet him on the Indiana road with a gun in my hand but he never showed

He went back to Ottawa, Toronto or wherever it is they go

Well we wired ahead and the girl's family said to come back to Calgary
C majorC        Bb majorBb      FF           C majorC
We decided that she would go on back there without me
     C majorC          Bb majorBb           FF          C majorC
And I'll never forget those tears in her eyes as I held her face in my hand
  C majorC         Bb majorBb          FF          C majorC
I turned around and I headed for town and I never looked back again
