Kate Wolf - Streets Of Calgary
CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO:   C    G    F    G  C  
There's a bad storm moving in aGcross the prairie sky
The Fclouds roll like thunder, the Glightning splits the Cnight
I'm alone with your memory, the Gdarkness and the pain
The Amtrees are trembling in the wind, I Fhear the falling Crain
And oh, sweet Maggie Lee, do Gyou remember me?
I Fused to be your sweetheart out Gby the rolling Csea
I came here to this prairie town when the Gstakes were running high
Now the Amboom's gone bust, the works played out, the Fmoney's running Cdry
CHORUS:
AmEvery day I walk the banks of the Fice-fed river CBow
And Amwatch the river running east, that's Cwhere I'd like to Ggo
I've Fseen the streets of Calgary, I've Cknown a prairie Fsky
I've Ammade and lost a Ffortune since I Gleft and made you Amcry
And Gnow I wonder Cwhy
INSTRUMENTAL:   F    C    F    Am    F    G    Am    G  C  
And you said I should have stayed, we Gmight have settled down
But the Fwestern plains they called to me and Gtook me from your Ctown
There's not a thing that I can do to Gstop this falling rain
But if Amever I can find a way, I'll Fhold you once aCgain
CHORUS:
AmEvery day I walk the banks of the Fice-fed river CBow
I Amwatch the river running east, that's Cwhere I'd like to Ggo
I've Fseen the streets of Calgary, I've Cknown a prairie Fsky
I've Ammade and lost a Ffortune since I Gleft and made you Amcry
And Gnow I wonder Cwhy
CHORUS:
AmEvery day I walk the banks of the Fice-fed river CBow
I Amwatch the river running east, that's Cwhere I'd like to Ggo
I've Fseen the streets of Calgary, I've Cknown a prairie Fsky
I've Ammade and lost a Ffortune since I Gleft and said goodAmbye
                G       C   F   G  C-G-C  
And now I wonder why

Kate Wolf - Streets Of Calgary

CAPO: 5th Fret

C G F G C

INTRO:

There's a bad storm moving in across the prairie sky

F G C

The clouds roll like thunder, the lightning splits the night

I'm alone with your memory, the darkness and the pain

Am F C

The trees are trembling in the wind, I hear the falling rain

And oh, sweet Maggie Lee, do you remember me?

F G C

I used to be your sweetheart out by the rolling sea

I came here to this prairie town when the stakes were running high

Am F C

Now the boom's gone bust, the works played out, the money's running dry

CHORUS:

Am F C

Every day I walk the banks of the ice-fed river Bow

Am C G

And watch the river running east, that's where I'd like to go

F C F

I've seen the streets of Calgary, I've known a prairie sky

Am F G Am

I've made and lost a fortune since I left and made you cry

G C

And now I wonder why

F C F Am F G Am G C

INSTRUMENTAL:

And you said I should have stayed, we might have settled down

F G C

But the western plains they called to me and took me from your town

There's not a thing that I can do to stop this falling rain

Am F C

But if ever I can find a way, I'll hold you once again

CHORUS:

Am F C

Every day I walk the banks of the ice-fed river Bow

Am C G

I watch the river running east, that's where I'd like to go

I've seen the streets of Calgary, I've known a prairie sky

I've made and lost a fortune since I left and made you cry
