D                  G         A
Up in a meadow in Jasper, Alberta
     D                        C             A   Asus4
Two men and four ponies on a long lonesome ride
    D                        G            A    
To see the high country and learn of her people
     D                               C              A   Asus4  A 
The ways that they lived there, the ways that they died
A(addB) D                    G        A
And     one is a teacher and one a beginner 
      D                       C           A   Asus4
Just wanting to be there and wanting to know
       D                        G          A
And together they're trying to tell us a story
       D                           C           A   Asus4  A7sus4  A7
That should have been listened to long, long ago
         G                        D
How the life in the mountains is living in danger
      C        G           Em      A    Asus4
From too many people, too many machines
         G                  D    
And the time is upon us, today is forever
   C         G           Em           A    Asus4  A7sus4  A7  A(addB)
Tomorrow is just one of yesterday's dreams

 D                                  A
Cold nights in Canada and icy blue winds
                                A7       D
The man and the mountains are brothers again
                                             A   A7
Clear waters are laughing they sing to the sky
     A                                  D   A  Asus4 
The Rockies are living they never will die

D                  G         A
Up in a meadow in Jasper, Alberta
     D                        C             A   
Two men and four ponies on a long lonesome ride
