Manitoba

A
When you mention Manitoba,
        D
I'll be mindful of the prairies,
       A                                E
To the province where the old Red River flows,
         A
It's the land of shining water,
          D
where the beaver and the otter,
       A                 E7             A
Play to-gether where the Prairie Crocus grows.
***Chorus
    D                A
Mani-toba, you're my sunshine,
   D               A
My twilight, and re-pose,
    D                A
Mani-toba, you're my heaven,
  D           A                E7             A
Be-cause it's heaven where the Prairie Crocus grows.
A
When you mention Manitoba,
        D
I'll be mindful of her beauty,
       A                              E
In the evening when the sunset fades a-way,
        A
And the moon of golden glimmer,
       D
on the wheat field seems to shimmer,
        A                    E7             A
And the night bird sings the closing of the day.
***Chorus
A                                  D
When you mention Manitoba, I'll be mindful of the valleys,
        A                           E
And the old brown hills calling me a-way,
          A
Where the favours of our giver,
       D
dwell a-mong the lakes and rivers,
         A                E7               A
From the U.S. line to the shores of Hudson Bay.
***Chorus
