D=Down Strum
U=Up Strum
Intro: E (DDUUDU) A (DDUUDU) E (DDUUDU) B (DDUUDU)
E (DDUDDDUD)
When I look around me,
  A (DDUDDDUD)
I cant believe what I see
   E (DDUDDDUD)
It seems as if this country
    B (DDUDDDUD)
Has lost its will to live
    E (DDUDDDUD)
The economy is lousy,
   A (DDUDDDUD)
We barely have an army
    B (DDUDDDUD)
But we can still stand proudly
      E (DU)    A (DU) E (DDU)
'Cause Canada's really big
          E (DDUDDDUD)   A (DDUDDDUD)       
We're the second largest country
E (DDUDDDUD)   B (DDUDDDUD)  
On this planet Earth
       E (DDUDDDUD)
And if Russia
A (DDUDDDUD)
Keeps on shrinking
B (DDUDDDUD)      E (DDU)
Then soon well be first
               A(DU)E (DDU)  
(as long as we keep quebec)
    E (DDUDDDUD)
The usa has tanks
    A (DDUDDDUD) 
And switzerland has banks
E (DDUDDDUD)
They can keep them, thanks
B (DDUDDDUD)
They just dont amount
E (DDUDDDUD)
Cause when you get down to it
A (DDUDDDUD)
You find out what the truth is
B (DDUDDDUD)
It isnt what you do with it
E (DU)  A (DU)    E (DDU)
Its the size that counts!
E (DDUUDU)
Most people
     A (DDUUDU)
Will tell you
     E (DDUUDU)       B (DDUUDU)
That france is pretty large
        E (DDUUDU)
But you can put
A (DDUUDU)
Fourteen frances
B (DDUUDU)        E (DDUUDU)  
Into this land of ours
            A (DU) E(DDU)E (DU)            A (DU)E (DDU)
(it'd take a lotta work, it'd take a whole lotta work)
     E (DDUUDU)
Were larger than malaysia
  A (DDUUDU)
Almost as big as asia
     E (DDUUDU)
We're bigger than australia
    B (DDUUDU)
And its a continent
   E (DDUUDU)
So big we seldom bother
   A (DDUUDU)
To go see one another
B (DDUUDU)
But we often go to other
E (DU)    A (DU)E (DDU)
Countries for vacation
    E (DUDU)
Our mountains
A (DUDU)
Are very pointy
    E (DUDU)     B (DUDU)    
Our prairies are not
    E (DUDU)
The rest is
A (DUDU)
Kinda bumpy
      B(DUDU)           E(D)
But, man, do we have a lot
           A(D)   E(D)  E(D)           A(D)   E(D)
(we gotta lot of land, we gotta whole lot of land)
   E (DUDUDUDU)
So stand up and be proud
    A (DUDUDUDU)
And sing out very loud
   B (DUDUDUDU)
We stand out from the crowd cause
 E(D)    A(U)   E(D)
Canada's really big!
Outro: E (DUDUDUDUDUDUD as fast as possible)
