[B] [C#] [G#] [C#m] [G#] [B]
In the [F#] forest, on the river, [E] and across the [B] western plain,
As the white [F#] men journeyed westward [E] to the land of the [G#m] Indian,
[B]
A new race [F#] was [E] created, a new nation [B] rose up strong.
Hardship [F#] as its destiny, [E] and a thirst to not [B] belong.
In the land from [F#] which they came, [E] in the land they helped to [B] build,
They found [F#] themselves the alien, [E] they found their vision [G#m] unfurled.
[B] And despite [F#] their valiant effort [E] to defend what they [B] believed,
When at last the [F#] battle ended, [E] they were only [B] left to breathe.
[G#m] We are proud [B] to be Métis, [E] watch our nation [B] rise again.
