E5 Well I'm long gone to Saskatchewan F#5 Long gone to Saskatchewan A5 Where the gettin's good if you're gettin' gone B5 I'm gonna put my boots and my hat back on. A5 E5 Cause I'm long gone to Saskatchewan A5 E5 Long gone to Saskatchewan E5 Well it's a hell of a battle to try to raise cattle A5 In the prettiest place on the hoof B5 Oil refiners and lot sub-dividers E5 Got land prices right through the roof They got value's distorted and my brow's all contorted With the words that the banker just wrote Me and the missus, we love the cow business Took jobs just to keep us afloat The old lady's a waitress in three different places And still can't afford her own car I've been drivin' grader, I'm a smooth operator Wonderin' where all the gravel roads are I like Alberta, but dang ain't ya hearda How much it can cost to buy oats? I'll always love her and think kindly of her But I got no money left over for smokes E5 Well I'm long gone to Saskatchewan F#5 Long gone to Saskatchewan A5 Where the gettin's good if you're gettin' gone B5 I'm gonna put my boots and my hat back on A5 Adios, goodbye, farewell, so long A5 E5 I'm long gone to Saskatchewan A5 E5 Long gone to Saskatchewan She's a little bit flatter but the cows are as fatter So I think I'm gonna get me a tent Cuz I can buy up an acre beside a nice lake here For what it costs me at home to just rent Sure, the winters are tough and roads get rough And we might have to feed a bit more And it's further to ship'em , but damned if it isn't Good cow country this, that's for sure I can miss my foothills here and still drink my pilsner And bitch and complain and surmise About missin' the mountain, buy hey, look, who's countin' My place here is five times the size Well I'm long gone to Saskatchewan Long gone to Saskatchewan Where the gettin's good if your gettin' gone I'm gonna put my boots and my hat back on Adios, goodbye, farewell, so long I'm long gone to Saskatchewan Long gone to Saskatchewan Solo (Play chorus chords) Now i gotta give honours to Stompin' Tom Connors For "Roll on Saskatchewan" first And Hus put his toque on in "Long Gone to the Yukon" I figured he owed us a verse But I've been comin' out bringin' my t-shirts and singin' To my good eastern neighbours so long And you put up with dumb jokes about your province and so I figured hey, I owed you a song. E5 Well I'm long gone to Saskatchewan F#5 Long gone to Saskatchewan A5 Where the gettin's good if you're gettin' gone B5 I'm gonna put my boots and my hat back on Raise my cows like my grand daddy done Where the birch trees grow and the sharp tail roam A5 Adios, goodbye, farewell, so long A5 E5 I'm long gone to Saskatchewan A5 E5 Long gone to Saskatchewan A5 E5 Long gone A5 E5 Long gone A5 E5 Long gone to Saskatchewan
