I think he's

gone to stay.

We packed up all
A
our bags

And drove out to

D
When we got to
A
Winnipeg
D
I checked in to school,
A
A7
I wore white bucks
Em7
on my feet.
A7
When I learned the
Em7
golden rule
D
The punches came
A
fast and hard,
D
Lying on my
A
back in the schoolyard.

D
Well pretty soon I
A
met a friend,
D
He played guitar,
A
A7
We used to sit on steps
Em7
at school
A7
And dream of be
Em7
ng stars.
D
We started a band,
A
D
We played all
A
night.
chorus
D
Oh,
A
Canada,
D
we played all night,
A
A7
I really hate to
Em7
leave you now,
A7
but to stay just
Em7
wouldn't be right.
D
Down in Hollywood
A
D
we played so
A
good.
chorus
D
The businessmen
A
crowded around,
D
They came to hear the
A
golden sound,
A7
There we were on the
Em7
Sunset Strip
A7
Playing our songs for the
Em7
highest bid.
D
We played all
A
night,
D
The price was right.
A
chorus
D
Well, all that glitters
A
isn't gold,
D
I know you've heard that
A
story told,
A7
And I'm a pauper in a
Em7
naked disguise,
A7
A millionaire through a
Em7
businessman's eyes.
D
Oh,
A
friend of mine,
D
Don't be denied.
