Long Gone to Saskatchewan Chords.wmv by Corb Lund

[G] _ Well, I'm long gone to [Db] Saskatchewan, long gone to [C] Saskatchewan,
Where the gettin's good if you're gettin' [D] gone,
I'm gonna put my boots and [Bm] my hat back on,
Cause [C] I'm long gone to [G] Saskatchewan, [C] long gone to [G] _ Saskatchewan.
_ [C] _ [G] _
Well, it's a hell of a battle to try to raise cattle in the prettiest place on the hook,
[Dm] Oil refiners and [A] lots of dividers and land prices right through the roof,
[Bb] _ [G] They got value distorted and my brow off the word that the banker just wrote,
[D] Me and the missus, we love the cow business, no [F] job that can keep us [Bb] [G] afloat,
The old ladies will wait just three different places and still can't afford her own car,
[D] I've been drivin' greater, I'm a smooth operator, wonder where all the gravel [Bb] roads are,
_ _ [G] Well, I like Alberta, but dang ain't you heard of how much it can cost to buy oats,
[Dm] Well, I'll always love her and think kindly of her, but I got no money left [C] over for smokes,
[G] Well, I'm long gone to Saskatchewan, [A] long gone to Saskatchewan,
[C] Where the gettin's good if you're gettin' gone,
I'm [Bm] gonna put my boots and my hat [C] back on,
Adios, goodbye, farewell, so long,
I'm long gone [G] to Saskatchewan, [C] [G] long gone to Saskatchewan. _ _ _
_ [F] _ [G] She's a little bit flatter, but the cows are just fatter, so I think I'm gonna get me a tent,
Cause [D] I can buy up an acre [A] beside a nice lake here, what costs me home but [Bb] just rent,
_ [G] _ Sure, the winter's tough and the roads get rough, and we might have to feed a bit more,
And [Gbm] it's further to shipping [D] than it is in [A] good cow country, that's for sure,
[G] _ I can miss my foothills here and still drink my pills and bitch and complain and surmise,
[A] About missing the mountains, [Dm] but hey, look who's counting, my place here is five [G] towns aside,
_ [C]
Well, [G] I'm long gone to Saskatchewan, [A] long gone to Saskatchewan,
[C] Where the gettin's good if you're gettin' gone,
[D] I'm gonna put my boots and my hat back [C] on,
Adios, [G] goodbye, farewell, so [C] long,
I'm long gone [G] to Saskatchewan, [C] long gone [G] to Saskatchewan.

[D] _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ Now I gotta give honor to my Tom Connors, for rolling on Saskatchewan first,
[A] Husband is too gone, long gone to the Yukon, figure he owed [G] us the first, _ _
[F] But I've been coming [G] out bringing my t-shirts and singing to my good eastern neighbors so long,
He put up with dumb jokes about your province, and so I figured, hey, I owed you [F] a song,
_ [C] Well, [G] I'm long gone to [A] Saskatchewan, long gone to [C] Saskatchewan,
Where the gettin's good if you're gettin' gone,
[D] I'm gonna put my boots and my hat back on,
Raising my cows like my granddaddy done,
Where the birch trees grow and the sharp-tailed [C] roe,
Adios, goodbye, farewell, so long,
I'm long [G] gone to [C] Saskatchewan, long [G] gone to Saskatchewan,
_ [C] Long [G] gone, _ [C] long [G] gone, _ [C] long gone to Saskatchewan.
