Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
In southern Ontario,
Canada
Am 
Where I   come from
C 
The roads are long and flat
G 
D 
And strange
And you can drive your muscle car
Am 
As fast as you want to
C 
As far as you want to
G 
D 
For as long as you can
And on Sunday mornings
Am 
In every little town
C 
G 
you see the migrant workers,
D 
the Jamaican boys
Am 
and the Mexican boys
C 
G 
Dressed in white shirts and Sunday ties
D 
an d hard Sunday shoes
And all the Christian farmers
Asus4 
Am 
C 
Packin' them up in their stretch vans
G 
D 
And takin' them to church
And on Sunday afternoons
Am 
They're back in the fields
C 
G 
D 
With their hoes in their hands
And on Monday mornings
Am 
In the fields of silent Ontario,
C 
you can see the families
G 
D 
with their backs bent in the sun
And fathers and mothers,
Am 
and sisters and brothers,
C 
G 
D 
and little children, little children
Am 
On a Friday night in every little town
C 
The phone booths are lined up
G 
four to five deep
D 
And the Jamaican boys
Am 
and the Mexican boys
C 
G 
D 
Callin' home at 7  .75 an hour
Just to tell them back there
Am 
How much they love them,
C 
how much they miss  them
G 
And how much they wish
D 
they could be there
In southern Ontario, Canada,
Am 
where I come from
C 
Em 
You can drive your muscle car
G 
D 
as far as you want to
Am 
Cause the roads are long and flat
and strange
C 
G 
D
