D D/C# Bm G X2

I remember being [D/C#]all dressed underneath that old oak tree
The day we [D/C#]laid my grandpa down
For 13 years I’v[D/C#]e been his shadow, his little man
I was learning what [D/C#]hurt was all about
That was the first time[D/F#] I ever saw my daddy cry
And he said ‘Son,[D/F#] that’s the thing about life’

Yea, the rain’s gonna fall on us all Your heart’s gonna break sometimes
But there’s no way around it life’s full mountains You’re gonna have to climb
But there ain’t no crime in cryin[D/C#]g You just gotta keep on trying
So remember, no matter what you’re going through
Tough times don’t last Tough people do

Baby it’s bee[D/C#]n all smooth sailing since we fell in love
But lately we’ve be[D/C#]en on a rocky road
But if I know you like I [D/C#]think I do You ain’t giving up
And there ain’t no way in thi[D/C#]s world I’m letting go
Baby God put us together [D/F#] And He don’t make mistakes
Love is gonna be our shelter [D/F#]From whatever comes our way

Yea, the rain’s gonna fall on us all Your heart’s gonna break sometimes
But there’s no way around it life’s full mountains You’re gonna have to climb
But there ain’t no crime in cryin[D/C#]g You just gotta keep on trying
So remember, no matter what you’re going through
Tough times don’t last Tough people do

No there ain’t no crime in crying[D/C#] You just gotta keep on trying
So remember, no matter what you’re going through
Tough times don’t last Tough people do
Tough times don’t last Tough people [D/C#]do Tough people do

(Verse)
Round hair and blue eyes, I was skinny and six
I had second-hand skates and a new hockey stick
It was northern Alberta and nobody thought
That the kid from the farm would amount to a lot

(Verse)
Growing up how I did, well I knew how to work
So I practiced my first year’s guitar til I hurt
Now I travel around and they pay me to play
And when people ask me I’m so proud to say

(Chorus)
I’m a Canadian kid, born and bred
Have two boots, and to zed
Anywhere in this world that I may lay my head
I’ll still always be a Canadian kid

(Verse)
Now I sing everywhere and more that I see
The more that I know that I’m lucky to be
In a land where I’m sittin on top of the world
With my 5% beer and Canadian girls

(Chorus x2)
I’m a Canadian kid, born and bred
Have two boots, and to zed
Anywhere in this world that I may lay my head
I’ll still always be a Canadian kid
I’ll still always be a Canadian kid
