_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Long before the _ wasteland came to [C] love [G] the shining [D] _ God _
_ When the wild and the stately _ _ Caribou _ [G] _ _ traversed the snow [A]-flats _ of
[D] The native _ man, he walked these hills [G] and he fished the _ [A] silvery _ _ lakes
_ [D] Content _ with what the land _ _ _ not _ wanting more would _ pay _
_ _ _ _ _ _
But _ soon the word it was put out _ to [G] every _
_ [D] country _ _ _
For it's a point of _ northern _ _ passage _ [G] from sea to the shining [A] _ _ sea
_ [D] And the first to come were _ trappers _ [G] and the men of God [A] who _ _ [E] preached
[D] That they would return in hung _ _ [G] and _ eagles shared [D] to _ _ eat _ _ _ _ _
_ For _ years the man of a newfound land, [C] those that share [G]
her land [D] so bold _
Sent _ down each year in the _ springtime [G] for to fish on the _ _ [A] Labrador _
_ _ [D] But soon the fish they were all gone [G] with the furs was [A] the same _
_ [D] And the native _ _ suffered _ silently, [G] for the land God _ gave to [D] Cain _

Well the years went by and as time passed [C] the _ _ [G] _
company's [D] moving _ _ _ _
_ Over and over and the height of all power [G] of the struggle did _ [A] _ begin _
But [D] the _ working men on both sides tried [G] to live their lives [A] the _ same
[E] _
[D] And the native suffered _ _ _ silently, for the [G] land God gave [D] to Cain _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
And now it's for the future _ [G] both sides [Gm] to share [D] the fear _ _
_ The old ways they are passing _ [G] like the _ _ _ caribou [A] and _ hare
[E] _
[D] And now they all are _ wondering _ [G] if it was all [A] in _ [D] vain
[A] _ _ _ And [D] the _ native _ suffered _ _ _ silently, _ _ _ [C] for the land _ [G] God _ gave [D] to _ _ Cain
