Ian Tyson (born September 25, 1933) is a cowboy folk singer from Alberta, Canada who was born in Victoria, British Columbia.
He and his then-wife Sylvia Fricker constituted one of the most popular folk duos of the 1960s, Ian & Sylvia. Tyson gradually shifted to the cowboy way while still with Sylvia, accentuating the western life through song. Residing on a ranch in southern Alberta, Tyson tours all over the west.

Springtime In Alberta ===================== by: Ian Tyson
capo 3rd fret
Verse 1: --------
G (strum once) D Should've seen it in your eyes DG I could never read your eyes' GD So lost in love was I DG It always takes me by surprise GC You were dreamin' of the south land C How your love comes and goes CG It's just like the weather babe GAm Only heaven really knows
Chorus: -------
AmD Just like springtime in Alberta DG Warm sunny days and the skies of blue GD Then without a warning DG Another winter storm comes ragin' through GC And the mercury's fallin' CBmG I'm left all alone GAmD Springtime in Alberta DG Chills me to the bone
Verse 2: --------
G (strum once) D I can see the storm clouds coming DG Lord they're dark across the sky GD The same look that I've seen so many times DG When I've looked into your eyes GC So I'll turn up my old collar C Pull my hat way down low CG Oh the wind's gettin' colder now GAm Droppin' down to near zero
Repeat Chorus: --------------
EmAmD Springtime in Alberta D G D G (strum each chord once to end) Chills me to the bone
