I got tired of fishin' off the Grand Banks, [F#] tired of [C#] livin' off the dole, [F#] tired of the
[C#] newbie winters, [D#] where the weather gets [G#] blisterin' cold.
[C#] So I came up to Toronto, [F#] like some newbies do, and I got me a [C#] job in a factory, [G#] but I
missed my [C#] fishin' bruise.
I got me a call from my father, [F#] he said, son, hold on [C#] to your pants, [F#] they scrub [C#] oil on the
farm you own, [G#] and it's bigger than you come by chance.
[C#] So I bought me a CP ticket, [F#] one way, headin' [C#] straight back east.
I went back home to the oil I [G#] owned, and I became a [C#] newbie sheik.

John's Harbour, [C#] and a limo like cross me too.
[F#] All I'm [C#] missin' is a herald, [D#] and I'm gonna get me one [G#] of them too.

Oh, they took me up to Ottawa, they sure are some big, strange folks.
[F#] They buttoned me [C#] up in a Royal Suite, [D#] and in a here, [G#] newbie job.
[C#] They all came to pat me on the back, [F#] they all wanted to shake [C#] my hand, but I got the
oil of a lesson in my soul, [G#] and a steaming, [C#] driven land.
