D Up in a meadow in J G asper, Al A berta
Two D men, four ponies on a C long lonesome A ride.
To D see the high country and l G earn of its p A eople,
The D ways that they lived there, the C ways that they A died.
D And one is a teacher, G and one a A beginner,
Just D wanting to be there, just C wanting to A know.
And D together they're trying to G tell us a A story
That D should have been listened to C long, long A ago.
How the G life in the mountains is D living in danger
From C too many G people, too Em many machine A s.
And the G time is upon us, D now is forever,
To C morrow is j G ust one of Em yesterday's A dreams. A7
D Cold nights in Canada, icy blue A winds.
The man and the mountains are b A7 rothers a D gain.
Clear waters are laughing, they sing to the A sky. A7
The A Rockies are living, they never will D die. A
D Up in a meadow . . .
