Then Canada adopted me, let me stay and gave me a new homeland

Thank you Canada! Merci Canada! For your generosity, for caring for me and loving me,
E A B C#m A F#m B7 E
Thank you Canada! Merci Canada! I ‘ll be forever grateful for such compassion.

Oh precious land, my new country, I vow to defend you until I die!
E G#m F#m B7 E
Oh terre precieuse, mon nouveau pays, je te defendrai toute ma vie!
Em Am G C Am D
In a journey to freedom across the world I have found Canada
Am C D G B7 Em
A land of opportunities, diversity, a peaceful home, my new country
Em Am G C D Em
You have given me a refuge, freedom of thought, social justice
Am C D G B7 Em
A land of democracy, rights and equality, with doors open to me from sea to sea

Oh Canada! Oh Canada! I have lost a country; I have lost a home,
E A F#m C#m F#m G#m E
But in Canada, land of ice and snowy mountains, I found blossoms in a rainbow of colour
E A B C#m A F#m B7 E
Walked on beds of golden maple leaves, swam in blue lakes shimmering under the sun
E A B C#m A F#m B7 E
Thank you Canada! Merci Canada! I’m in love with your majestic nature and beauty!

Oh precious land, my new country, I vow to defend you until I die!

Oh terre precieuse, mon nouveau pays, je te defendrai toute ma vie!
