When I walk the hills so high
C G D
Around the town where I was born
A
New York seems so far away
C G D A C G D
Though I was there just yesterday

I have played on my guitar
C G D
In coffeehouses, halls and bars
A
Everyone that I call friend

Trains and planes and rented cars

Singers, saints and other stars

I suspect them every one

They'll never change, it's too much fun

In the shade of a maple tree

To the blue Canadian sky

And singing all those hi'way songs

The only time I'm flying
