The Flying Cpr

     E                             A               E
I've been from old Vancouver right down to Newfoundland,
     B7                                                    E
I've travelled through old Canada and I'll travel through again.
   A                                                 E
My heart is like the three wise men once guided by a star,
  B7                                      E
I left my blues to wander on the Flyin' CPR.

[Verse 2]
        E                                A                 E
Can you hear that big eight-wheeler go a-clickin' down the rail?
      B7                                       E
We’re on the Flyin' CPR and believe me she can sail.
   A                                                 E
Oh take me flyin', whizzin' on, away from a triflin' girl,
         B7                                                       E
'Cause I know by the way that whistle whines we're gonna span the world.

[Verse 3]
   E                                A               E
Go rumble through the mountains, go flashing by the sea,
   B7                                                    E
Go flying through the countryside to keep the blues from me.
    A                                            E
Now tell me, Mister Porter, can I play my old guitar?
     B7                                               E
I'll sing a song to the passengers about the Flyin' CPR.

[Verse 4]
       E                                     A              E
You've heard of the mighty rocket train, the old-time Cannonball,
       B7                                                                    E
But it looked like they were going backward, Man, when the Flyer passed them all.
      A                                        E
The Canadian Pacific, boys, is hard to beat by far.
       B7                                                E
You'll get your lifetime thrill, I know, on the Flyin' CPR.

[Verse 5]
  E                              A                  E
I told my two-time girlie when I heard that whistle moan,
   B7                                                      E
It means your daddy is a-gonna scram and I'm leavin' town alone.
     A                                                        E
I've got another little mama friend, that'll ment my heart by gar.
    B7                                           E
I'd better go roll my blues away on the Flyin' CPR.

    B7                                          E
I'm gonna go roll my blues away on the Flyin' CPR.
