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

[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
