Stompin Tom Connors - Manitoba guitar chord

A

When you mention Manitoba,

D

I'll be mindful of the prairies,

A E

To the province where the old Red River flows,

A

It's the land of shining water,

D

where the beaver and the otter,

A E7 A

Play to-gether where the Prairie Crocus grows.

***Chorus

D A

Mani-toba, you're my sunshine,

D A

My twilight, and re-pose,

D A

Mani-toba, you're my heaven,

D A E7 A

Be-cause it's heaven where the Prairie Crocus grows.

A

When you mention Manitoba,

D

I'll be mindful of her beauty,

A E

In the evening when the sunset fades a-way,

A

And the moon of golden glimmer,

D

on the wheat field seems to shimmer,

A E7 A

And the night bird sings the closing of the day.

***Chorus

A D

When you mention Manitoba, I'll be mindful of the valleys,

A E

And the old brown hills calling me a-way,

A

Where the favours of our giver,

D

dwell a-mong the lakes and rivers,

A E7 A

From the U.S. line to the shores of Hudson Bay.

***Chorus
