Alberta Bound - Paul Brandt
Album: This Time Around
Written by: Paul Brandt

Intro: D  A  G  D  A

         E            B
Sign said 40 miles to Canada
        C#m            A
My truck tore across Montana
    E            B            C#m   A
Ian Tyson sang a lonesome lullaby
      E                B
And so I cranked up the radio
             C#m           A
Cause there's just a little more to go
     E                B                    A   B
For I cross the border at that Sweet Grass sign


Chorus:

I'm Alberta bound
E              B
This piece of heaven that I've found
A                B
Rocky Mountains and black fertile ground
E             B                A
Everything I need beneath that big blue sky
       C#m            B
Doesn't matter where I go
               A             B
This place will always be my home
         C#m           B                A
Yeah I've been Alberta bound for all my life
                          B       E <--(D on chorus 2)
And I'll be Alberta bound until I die


       E                         B
It's a pride that's been passed down to me
        C#m                 A
Deep as coal mines, wide as farmer's fields
      E            B             C#m   A
Yeah, I've got independence in my veins
      E                 B
Maybe it's my down-home redneck roots
        C#m          A
Or these dusty 'ol Alberta boots
           E                  B            A
But like a Chinook wind keeps coming back again


CHORUS


Break: D  A  G  D  A  E

          C#m            B
It doesn't matter where I go
               A             B
This place will always be my home
         C#m           B                A
Yeah I've been Alberta bound for all my life
                          B          E  B  C#m  A
And I'll be Alberta bound until I die

E  B  C#m  A (repeat)
