[E] Thanks very much, this is [Em] just so much fun.
Thank you all very [E] much. _

_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] Last word.
[E] From the day the straightest earth was [C#] sent alive,
_ [A] The sea route to [E] the Aria for which so [C#m] many _ died.
[A] _ Seeking gold [E] and glory, leaving _ weathered, [C#m] broken bones,
And [A] long _
[E]-forgotten, lonely, careless [C#m] _ stones.
_ [E] Ah, for _ just one time, [A] I would take the northwest [C#m] _ passage
[A] To find the [E] hand of Franklin [A] reaching for the board.
_ [E] _ Tracing wild, warm light through [A] a land so [C#m] wide and savage,
[A] And make a [E] northwest passage to the sea. _
_ _ _ [A] Three centuries _
[E] thereafter, I'd take passage over land
_ [A] In the footsteps of [E] brave Kelsey, where his sea of [C#m] flowers began.
[A] Watching cities [E] rise before me, then behind me, [C#m] sink again.
[A] This tardiest _
[E] explorer, drive [A] an arc _ across the plain.
[E] Ah, for just one time, I [A] would take the northwest [C#m] _ passage
[A] To find the hand [E] of Franklin reaching [A] _ for the board.
_ _ [E] _ Tracing wild, warm light through [A] a land so [C#m]
wide and savage,
[A] And make a [E] northwest passage to the _ sea.
_ _ [A] Through the night, _ _
[E] behind the wheels of my Vetch, the King [B] West,
[E] I [A] think upon [E] _ Mackenzie, David Thompson, _ _
[C#m] and the rest.
[A] The crack, the mountain [E] _ ramparts, and each show a path [C#m] for me
To [A] _ race the [E] roaring _ freighter to [C#m] the _ [E] sea.
Ah, for just _ one time, I [A] would take the [C#m] northwest passage
[A] To find the [E] hand of Franklin [A] reaching for the board.
_ [E] _ Tracing wild, warm light [A] through a land so [E] wide [C#m] and savage,
_ [A] And make a northwest [E] _ passage to the sea. _
_ How _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] then, am I [E] so different from the first men through this way?
_ Like [A] them, I left [E] a settled life, _ threw it all [C#m] away,
_ _ [A] To seek a northwest [E] _ passage at the [C#] call of many [C#m] _ men
[A] To find there [E] but the road [B] back [C#m] home again.
_ [E] _ Ah, for just one time, I [A] would take the [C#m] northwest passage
[A] To find the hand [E] of Franklin reaching [A] for the board.
_ _ [E] Tracing wild, warm light [A] through a land so [C#m] wide and savage,
[A] And make a northwest [E] _ passage to the sea.
_ Ah, for just [Em] one [N] time, I would take the northwest _ passage
To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the board.
_ _ Tracing wild, warm light through a land so wide and savage,
[A] And make a northwest [E] passage [C#m] to the sea. _ _ _
And _ [A] _ _ make a northwest [E] _ _ passage _ to the _ _ sea.
