Chords for Missy Higgins - Oh Canada (Official Video)

[D#] _ _ _ More information has come to light about three-year-old Syrian boy, Aylan Kurdi,
whose body was found recently washed up on a beach in Turkey.
_ Refugee advocates now say his family's [D#m] ultimate goal was to reach [D#] asylum in Canada.
_ _ He [D#m] was carried from the water by [C#] a soldier
[G#] _ _ _ And [D#m] the picture _ screams a thousand [C#] different _ [G#] words
_ _ _ [D#m] He was running from the terror with [C#] his father
[G#] _ _ _ Who [D#m] once believed that nothing [G#m] could be [C#] _
worse
[G#] _ _ _ _ [D#m] So he'd handed a man two thousand [C#] precious dollars
[G#] _ _ _ The way [D#m] you'd rest a bird in a lion's [C#] open jaw
[G#] _ _ And _ [D#m] he told the boys that Canada was [C#]
awaiting _ [G#] _ him
[B] But there was hope upon a golden [C#] shore
_ But _ _ [B] a night he'd sit _ quiet and _ rest in the _ [C#] _
wind
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ _ _ Oh [B] _ _
Canada, [F#] _ if [C#] you can hear [D#m] me now
Won't [B] you open up [F#] your arms towards [C#] the sea _
[F#] _ _ [C#] Oh _ [B] _ _ _
[F#] Canada, _ _ [C#] if you could _ help [D#m] me out
All I [B] ever want was a safe [F#] place for my _ [C#] _
_ _ _ family
_ [B] _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ But [C#] _ _
_ [D#m] _ _ [C#] _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ [G#] _ _ _ _ _ [D#m] the days were long but the nights were [C#] even longer
[G#] _ _ _ _ And [D#m] the baby boys never left them by [C#] their _
_ [G#] side
_ _ But [D#m] their bodies small and their ways were [C#] getting stronger
[G#] _ _ _ And [B] they began to fear they'd not _ _ [C#] survive
_ _ _ _ So [D#m] their father said we gotta hold each other [G#] tighter
_ _ I'm [D#m] not losing everything I love [C#] now _ _
[G#] _ And _ [D#m] we've come so far I know that I'll [C#] be _ _ [G#]
somewhere
_ There's [B] a place you won't have to fear for a [C#] _ _ life
_ _ But [B] as he held onto his side
He'd go and be looked [F#] up at the sky _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G#m] _ Oh Canada, [F#] _
if [C#] you can hear [D#m] me now
_ Won't [B] you open up [F#] your arms towards [C#] the _ [F#] sea _ _
[C#] _ [B] Oh my _ Canada, [F#] _
_ if you [C#] could help [D#m] me out
The sea is [B] _ churning I [F#] think we're going to _ [C#] die _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D#m] _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[D#m] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[D#m] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ [D#m] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ [C#] _ [D#m] There's a million ways to justify [C#] your fear
[G#] _ _ _ _ [D#m] There's a million ways to measure out [C#] your _
_ [G#] _ worth
_ [D#m] With the body of a lion being [F#] laid upon the [C#] sand
_ [B] Tell me how do you live with that?
