• Song:

    Red Deer To Margaree

  • Artist:

This is a great cover of a song originally performed by the Grievous Angels
and composed by our two most musically inclined Members of Parliament, 
Charlie Angus and Andrew Cash.

Verse 1:
G                D         G
Passing time blowin' smoke rings
G               D                   G
Late night menu covered with coffee stains
C                G
I can't remember where we been
C                 G
Where we're goin' to
G              D              G
Take a cup for me and one for you
 
G                        D              G
The headlights carve out figures in the night
G                D          G
Late night radio keepin' me alive
C                       G
As raindrops streak the windowpane
C                    G
Diesel fumes and the cold dark rain
G                    D                G
I'll follow you from Red Deer to Margaree

Chorus:
G              Bm      C              G
An old country song is spinning in my head
G            Bm           C             G
Sure do feel tired but at least I ain't dead
C                        D             G                 C   C/B   Am
You sleep so sound on my shoulder as I take the driver's seat
G                   D                G
I followed you from Red Deer to Margaree

Verse 2:
G              D              G
Thunder Bay is two hours from sight
G                      D               G
We left the flat lands late, late last night
C                    G
As sunlight rises in distant sky
C                      G
Says "good morning" to our tired eyes
G                  D                    G
You grin at me and I know that it's all right

Chorus:
G              Bm      C              G
An old country song is spinning in my head
G            Bm           C             G
Sure do feel tired but at least I ain't dead
C                        D             G                 C    C/B   Am
You sleep so sound on my shoulder as I take the driver's seat
G                   D                G
I followed you from Red Deer to Margaree

G         D         G

Verse 3:
G                      D              G
One day we're going to put this truck away
G              D            G
Get us a place out near the bay
C                          G
And late at night when you hold me tight
C                           G
And you hear those trucks a rollin' by
G                   D                G
I followed you from Red Deer to Margaree

Chorus:
G              Bm      C              G
An old country song is spinning in my head
G            Bm           C             G
Sure do feel tired but at least I ain't dead
C                        D             G                 C    C/B   Am
You sleep so sound on my shoulder as I take the driver's seat
G                   D                G
I followed you from Red Deer to Margaree
G                D                G
All the way from Red Deer to Margaree
G                    D                G
I'll follow you from Red Deer to Margaree
