Ah for just one time,
5 5-44 4 5 -4
I would take the north - west passage
5 6 -6 6 6 5 6 -6
To find the hand of Franklin
7 7 -7 -6 6 6 5 -4
Reaching for the Beaufort sea
4 5 -4 5 4 3 3*
Tracing one more line
5 5 -4 4 5 -4
Through a land so wide and savage
5 6 -6 6 6 5 6 -6
And make a north-west passage to the sea
7 7 -7 -6 6 5 5 -4 4 4

There are days that I wish this would be put forward as an alternate / additional national anthem for Canada.

I tried this on an A harp and a Crossover G Marine Band - still haven't quite bent to the Bb I am looking for from the 3 hole, but not giving up trying.

Thanks...I am new to this
