[Verse 1]
Bm         G             Dsus2
Check your watch; you're fourteen and more.
Bm          G        D         A
Here lies a road not travelled before.
Bm          G               Dsus2
Down in the cellar, there's beer on your breath.
    Bm         G              D         A
And up off the floor, did you let him explore?

[Bridge]
Bm   A    Bm   A    Bm   A   G
Oooo oooh Oooo oooh Oooo Oooo Ooooh (let G ring)

[Verse 2]
Bm         G           Dsus2
Check your map. You're Louis Riel.
Bm        G       D             A
He rode a horse before you were born.
Bm         G             Dsus2
Out in the flatland, the money's all spent.
Bm         G               D             A
And out in the field, your fate has been sealed.

[Bridge]
Bm   A    Bm   A    Bm   A   G       A
Oooo oooh Oooo oooh Oooo Oooo Ooooh

[Chorus]
        D           A         D            A
I'm the King of the Past, but still I walk forward.
D              A           G          A
Won't close my eyes to the passing of time.
       D           A                  D           A
I'm in Fredericton Northern where the rivers make borders,
    Bm         A          G
But planes fly right over them. (let G ring)

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
Bm         G           Dsus2
Check your map, 'cause you've lost your watch.
     Bm           G         D             A
It's buried under snow; its time does not stop.
Bm            G             Dsus2
Find your way homeward. The rivers are freezing.
    Bm        G        D           A
And under the ice, the borders are changing.

[Bridge]
Bm   A    Bm   A    Bm   A   G       A
Oooo oooh Oooo oooh Oooo Oooo Ooooh

[Chorus]
        D           A         D            A
I'm the King of the Past, but still I walk forward.
  D         A           G            A
I step over hundreds of years yet to come,
          D           A          D            A
While the eyes in the back of my head draw no borders,
     Bm          A           G
Just rivers that channel the rain.
