Springtime In Alberta
=====================
by:  Ian Tyson


capo 3rd fret

Verse 1:
--------

 (strum once)            
Should've seen it in your eyes
                       
I could never read your eyes'
                   
So lost in love was I
                        
It always takes me by surprise
                        
You were dreamin' of the south land

How your love comes and goes
                  
It's just like the weather babe
                  
Only heaven really knows


Chorus:
-------

                        
Just like springtime in Alberta
                       
Warm sunny days and the skies of blue
              
Then without a warning
                          
Another winter storm comes ragin' through
                 
And the mercury's fallin'
                
I'm left all alone
                  
Springtime in Alberta
                
Chills me to the bone


Verse 2:
--------

 (strum once)             
I can see the storm clouds coming
                            
Lord they're dark across the sky
                       
The same look that I've seen so many times
                          
When I've looked into your eyes
                      
So I'll turn up my old collar

Pull my hat way down low
                     
Oh the wind's gettin' colder now
                      
Droppin' down to near zero


Repeat Chorus:
--------------

                 
Springtime in Alberta
D                G    D G (strum each chord once to end)
Chills me to the bone
