[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C
We found the winter in Montreal
C
Then I went on the road like a rag doll
Fmaj7 C
You split a bottle of wine with Kate the Great
G Fmaj7 C
Rufus came around and he still didn’t know our names
C
A grand piano on every floor and
C
I was numb from the Thin White War
Fmaj7 C
You had a studio somewhere up the road
G Fmaj7 C
The music that we heard was like livin’ with buried gold
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C
The day we ditched our southern life
Fmaj7 C
Put on a parka in the northern lights
Fmaj7
Everything just got better
Am
Living in an NHL sweater
Fmaj7
All the time
G
Bluenose on a dime
C
And you were mine
[Verse 2]
C
Chick in Hollywood with nothing to say
C
But darlin’ loose a little bit of weight
Fmaj7
Well no one ever said that when I headed north
G Fmaj7 C
There’s a breed of folk who see past the decor
C
I’m not sitin’ at the Chateau Marmont bar
C
I’m taking Bob’s Taxi to my faveourite star
Fmaj7 C
And the Arctic air’s got me frozen in a smile
G Fmaj7 C
I can tell my money apart in the whiskey aisle
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C
The day we ditched our southern life
Fmaj7 C
Put on a parka in the northern lights
Fmaj7
Everything just got better
Am
Living in an NHL sweater
Fmaj7
All the time
G
Bluenose on a dime
C Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7 C
And you were mine
[Violin solo]
Fmaj7 C x4
C
[Verse 3]
C
Music men here try to leave their mark
C
Bottom line they’re trying way to hard“
Fmaj7 (strum hard once, mute) C
Leave a rock n’ roller and she’ll figure it out just fine
G Fmaj7
This ain’t my first stampede
C
Don’t waste my time
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C
The day we ditched our southern life
Fmaj7 C
Put on a parka in the northern lights
Fmaj7
Everything just got better
Am
Living in an NHL sweater
Fmaj7
All the time
G
Bluenose on a dime
C
And you were mine
[Outro]
Fmaj7 (strum once)
Oh yeah we’re fine
G (strum once) C
Bluenose on a dime and you were mine
Fmaj7
We’re doing fine
G C
Bluenose on a dime and you were mine
