Alberta bound A7 D D7 It's good to be, .. Alberta bound___ G D Alberta bound, .. Alberta bound A7 D It's good to be, .. Alberta bound Solo (Capo 2)I think this is pretty close;part of it my lame imitation of Ry Cooder's mandolin solo E||-------5----5---------|-----------------5----|--5-------------------| B||--7--------------7p---|--5---------7---------|-------7p---5---------| G||----------------------|-------7--------------|-----------------7----| D||----------------------|----------------------|----------------------| A||----------------------|----------------------|----------------------| E||----------------------|----------------------|----------------------| -------5----5---------|-------7----5---------|----------------------| --7--------------7p---|--5--------------7----|--5\---3--------------| ----------------------|----------------------|------------0----0/---| ----------------------|----------------------|----------------------| ----------------------|----------------------|----------------------| ----------------------|----------------------|----------------------| -----------------3----|--9----12----12----9----|--------------9----12----| -------3----5---------|------------------------|--12----10---------------| --4-------------------|------------------------|-------------------------| ----------------------|------------------------|-------------------------| ----------------------|------------------------|-------------------------| ----------------------|------------------------|-------------------------| --12----9----------------|--------14----12----12----|--9---------------10--| -------------12----10----|--10----------------------|-------12----10-------| -------------------------|--------------------------|----------------------| -------------------------|--------------------------|----------------------| -------------------------|--------------------------|----------------------| -------------------------|--------------------------|----------------------| -----------------------|-----------------------|--7----10------------| --12---10--------------|------------7----10----|---------------------| ------------11\9-------|---7---7---------------|---------------------| -----------------------|-----------------------|---------------------| -----------------------|-----------------------|---------------------| -----------------------|-----------------------|---------------------| D Oh the sky-line of To-ronto, is something you'll get onto G But they say you've got to live there for a while A7 And if you've got the money, you can get yourself a honey D With a written guarantee to make you smile D Oh it's snowing in the city and the streets are brown and gritty G And I know there's pretty girls all over town A7 But they never seem to find me, and the one I left behind me D Is the reason that I'll be Alberta bound Chorus: ===========================================================================
