Вступление
x[Verse 1]
E
He raised two flags every morning
AE
Stars and Stripes and the Maple Jack
AEAB
One for him and one for his wife and after the heart attack;
EAE
He still walked out and down the hill and gave that cord a tug
AEBE
Stars and stripes for his country, a maple leaf for the one he loves
[Verse 2]
EAE
And she’s a strong minded woman, Canadian pioneer stock
AE
He was a city boy who loved his toys
EABC#m
And they spent their summers by the ferry dock in Wisconsin
AEA
And it reminds her of home where Humming Birds feed
EAB
And Blue Jays scree just like On-tari-o
[Verse 3]
E
And the years rolled on, pushed along,
AE
By that cruel old, Master Time.
AEAB
She held him close and loved him dear as he slowly lost his mind
C#mAE
And he passed on in Chicago, Illinois
AEEAB
She was again a nineteen year old country girl in love with a city
boy
[Bridge]
BAE
And he still sleeps beside her, it’s strange but it feels the same,
AEB
When she stops breathing in her sleep, she swears he calls her name
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
EAE
And those two flags still fly every morning, sure as the rising sun
AEB
It’s a maple leaf for her country, stars and stripes for the one she
E
loved.
BE
Stars and stripes for the one she loved.
