Indi (B minor) a, (F sharp major) the Ta (G major) j Mahal,

(E major) but Mr. P .G. (A major) tops them all!
(D major) Oh, Mr. P .G.! (A major)
(D major) Oh, Mr. P .G.! (A major) (D minor) (D major)
In Prince George, (D minor) British (G major) Columbi (D major) a,
(A major) tourist (D minor) dol (A major) lars were fleet (D major) ing.
Oh, so (B minor) years ago, I'll have you know,
they had a town (D major) hall meeting.
They (A major) needed something distinct (B minor) ive,
something nov (A major) el, something new. (B minor)
To (E major) make the tourists stop a while,
instead (A major) of just passing through.
Mr. (D major) P .G., Mr. (D minor) (D major) P .G.
Yes, (A major) (D major) Prince George
(D minor) needed something (D major)
that would put them on the map.
Like a (B minor) giant wooden man
with a checkered red felt (C sharp minor) cap. (D major)
Like the (A major) heads on Easter Is (B minor) land
or grass (A major) huts you find in (B minor) Fiji.
They built (E major) a statue out of logs
an (A major) d called it Mr. PG. Mr. Who?
A Mr. (D major) P .G. (A major) stands for Prince (D minor) (D major) George,
a Mr. (E flat major) P .G. (B flat major) (E flat minor)
Gi (E flat major) ant shirt, pants and hat
(B flat major) were stitched (E flat major) by someone's mom
(E flat minor) Because, (C minor) they said with confidence,
if we build it, (D flat major) they (Ddim) will come
(E flat major) Well, the (B flat major) tourists came
from far (C minor) and wide
in the (B flat major) summer and the (C minor) winter
To (C major) see (F major) him standing proud and tall
beside (B flat major) the (C minor) info (F major) center (B flat major)
But as the (C minor) years went by, (C major)
he suffered from neg (C minor) lect
His (B major) clothes were raggy
and he lacked self -respect
As the (B flat major) years wore on,
his appeal wore off
People (A flat major) said that he just (B flat major) wasn't good
enough for Mr. (E flat minor) P .G. (B flat major) (E flat major)
(E flat minor) Poor Mr. P .G. (B flat major) (E flat major)
He (B flat major) used (E flat minor) to proudly (B flat major) wave (E flat major) a flag, (B flat major)
now (E flat major) he just holds the pole.
In his (C minor) mouth he smoked a pipe,
now his lips just have (D minor) a hole. (E flat major)
Well there are (B flat major) good and bad people

and (B flat major) others with graffiti.
Mr. (E flat major) P .G. J .P. loves (E flat minor) E (E flat major) .S.
Mr. P .G. T .K. was here.
Initials carved (A flat major) into (E flat minor) his legs
(A flat major) Eventu (E flat major) ally spelled his ru (E flat minor) in
Then (E flat major) (C minor) vandals came in the dark of night
And took a chainsaw to (E flat major) him
Mr. (B flat major) P .G. had become
(C minor) Just an (B flat major) other pile of kind (C minor) ling
And without (F major) its famous statue,
(B flat major) civic pride was dwindling.
Mr. (E flat major) B .G. (E flat minor)
Mr. (E flat major) (E flat minor) (E major) B .G. (B major) (E major)
An arc welder (B major) stepped for (E major) ward
an (B major) (E major) d said, I (B major) have a plan. (E major)
(C sharp minor) We have the technology.
Let's reconstruct the man.
Well (E major) they (B major) built him with alumin (C sharp minor) um
so (B major) that he'd never (C sharp minor) rust
And they re (F sharp major) inforced him
so he's now impossible (B major) to (D major) bust (B major)
The (C sharp minor) welder's a hero, PG looks good
He's (C major) made out of metal
but he looks like wood
The (B major) statue has achieved legendary status
A (A major) wonder of the world
(A sharp major) you can (B major) see for gratis
They (C sharp minor) wave at him from cars
on the yellowhead route
They say, (C major) Mama, take my picture,
I'm standing on his boot
They're (B major) pointing out the window
of the aerial plane
Every (A major) body loves him!
(B major) What's his name?
Mr. (E major) B .G.
Now on the left you'll
see our famous statue
Mr. B
You'll notice that he's (C sharp minor) straighter

Mr. B .G.
Cuter than the Mona Lisa
