G5            G
On the ground trees lay
G5                 G
Clear-cut from the highway
      C         Cmaj7           G5  G   G5   G
And I mourn for the color green

Black smoke from the foundry
Big hole where they found me
I'm in gemstone on a diamond ring


CHORUS
F               C
Wildwood cherry skies 
G5               G
Wild fire in her eyes
F               C           G5    G
Wild time spent hanging fireside
F                    C
Green fields and the haze. 
G5                  G
Hot wildwood cherry days
F                C
Time is gone and now they seem to fade away


VERSE
Western skies in mid-May
August by Gaspe
Can't believe you're almost 17
Oil rigs on the water
You're your mother's daughter
No fish left in Bonnavista Bay


CHORUS


Paintearth Vesta coal mine
Highway through the Alpine
'for the fall turns winter rain
Night falls on the water
You'er your mother's daughter
Saving whales for daylight comes again.


CHORUS


ACOUSTIC ENDING
Drivin' from the Yukon
Great Slave lake before dawn
A thousand miles of highway lay ahead
Last road on the weekend
Grown up and your leavin'
Summers gone and I'm alone again 


END
