Intro: G

G D G
Here hangs an open landscape
D Em
A wild and huge frontier
G D C G
From a harsh and a barren wasteland
D G
Through the grave to the promised field

You came, you trapped, you charted
You laid the railroads and the schemes
And you tamed this land by enterprise
And by the power of your dreams


Em D
But you made this Clan great
G C
And you made this nation bloom
G C
And you rose with your people through the new world
D G D G
Like a rocket to the moon


G D G
From the olden coasts of Ireland
D Em
From the Hebridean shores
G D C G
With the forgotten chosen ones
D G
Running from Europe in droves

And you made this Clan great
And you made this nation bloom
And you rose your people through the new world
Like a rocket to the moon


G D G
Hooo-Hooo hoho-ho


There's a town in Manitoba
They say the windows touch the sky
But across the brine the shipyards close
In this garden flowers die

Still the homelands divide us
Like your blood red brothers of the plains
But where they grieve a candle still burns
A prayer from a flicker to a flame


But you made this Clan great
And you made this nation bloom
And you rose with your people through the new world
Like a rocket to the moon
