ALBERTA BOUND   Time: 2/2   Tenor: D   Bass: C


       1                  *                   *                 *
Oh the prairie lights are burning bright, the chinook wind is a-moving in
   *                 *          4       *
To-morrow night I'll be alberta bound
    57                   *             *                 *
And though I've done the best I could, my old luck ain't bin so good
   *                 *          1       *
To-morrow night I'll be Alberta bound
   1                  *                *              *
No one I've met could e're forget, the Rocky Mountain sunset
       *                *          4       *
It's a pleasure just to be Alberta bound
      57             *               *                 *
And I long to see my next of kin, to know what kind of shape they're in
   *                 *          1       (*)
To-morrow night I'll be Alberta bound


CHORUS:

1          4      *          1
.. Alberta bound, .. Alberta bound
*               57   *          1     17
.. It's good to be,  .. Alberta bound___
*          4      *          1
.. Alberta bound, .. Alberta bound
*               57   *          1       (*)
.. It's good to be,  .. Alberta bound


       1              *         *                    *
Oh the sky-line of To-ronto, is something you'll get onto
         *                 *                *        4
But they say you've got to live there for a while
    57                *              *              *
And if you've got the money, you can get yourself a honey
       *              *               1       *
With a written guaran-tee to make you smile
        1              *            *                     *
Oh It's snowing in the city and the streets are brown and gritty
      *                   *              4       *
But I know there's pretty girls all over town
         57            *                *             *
But they never seem to find me, and the one I left be-hind me
       *                *          1       *
Is the reason that I'll be Alberta bound
