The Maple Leaf Forever
Verse 1:
-2 -1 -2 -5 -3* 3 -3* -2
In days of yore, from Brit-ain's shore,
-3 -3* 4 -3* -3 3 -2
Wolfe, the daunt-less he-ro, came
-1* -1 -2 -3* -3* -5 -3* 3
And plant-ed firm Bri-tan-nia's flag
-3 -3* 4 4 -3* -3 3 -2 -2
On Ca-na-da's fair do-main!
-2 3 -2 -3* -2 3 -3* -2
Here may it wave, our boast, our pride,
-2 3 3 -5* -5 -5 5
And joined in love to-ge-ther,
-2 -6 -5 -3* -3 3 -3* -2
The This-tle, Sham-rock, Rose en-twine,
-2 3 -5* -5 4 4 -3*
The Ma-ple Leaf for-ev-er.
Refrain:
-2 -1 -2 -3* -2 3 -3* -2
The Ma-ple Leaf, our em-blem dear,
-2 3 3 -5* -5 -5 5
The Ma-ple Leaf for-ev-er!
-2 -6 -5 -3* -3 3 -3* -2
God save the King and Heav-en bless
-2 3 -5* -5 4 4 -3*
The Ma-ple Leaf for-ev-er!
Verse 2:
At Queens-ton Heights and Lun-dy's Lane
Our brave fa-thers side by side
For free-dom's right and loved ones dear
Firm-ly stood and no-bly died.
And those dear rights which they main-tained
We swear to yield them ne-ver
Our watch-word ev-er-more shall be
The Maple Leaf forever.
(refrain)
Verse 3:
Our fair do-min-ion now ex-tends
From Cape Race to Noot-ka Sound;
May peace for-ev-er be our lot
And plen-te-ous store a-bound;
And may those ties of love be ours
Which dis-cord can-not sev-er,
And flour-ish green o'er Free-dom's home
The Ma-ple Leaf for-ev-er.
(refrain)
Verse 4:
On mer-ry Eng-land's far-famed land
May kind Heav-en sweet-ly smile;
God bless old Scot-land ev-er-more
And Ire-land's Em-er-ald isle.
Then swell the song both loud and long,
Till rocks and for-est quiv-er;
"God save our King and Heav-en bless
The Ma-ple Leaf Forever!"
(refrain)
