[Verse]

        D                              Asus4
The war was over and the spirit was broken
Bm                  G                     Em7
The hills were smokin' as the men withdrew
D                                  A/E                           F#m
We stood on the cliffs, Oh, and watched the ships
G                                 Em7
Slowly sinking to their rendezvous
D                                            Asus4
They signed a treaty and our homes were taken
Bm                    Cadd9                 Em7
Loved ones forsaken, they didn't give a damn
D                                  A/E            F#m
Tryin' to raise a family, end up the enemy
G                                                         Em7
Over what went down on the plains of Abraham

[Chorus]

D           G               Em7   Asus4 A
Acadian driftwood, gypsy tailwind,
G/B               D/A    G                Em7
They call my home, the land of snow
D              G              Em7     Asus4 A
Canadian cold front, movin' in
G/B          D/A         G  Bm      Em7 A7 D
What a way to ride, oh what a way to go

[Verse]

          D                                 Asus4
Then some returned to the motherland
Bm                      G                       Em7
The high command had them cast away
D                                   A/E                         F#m
And some stayed on to finish what they started
G                                       Em7
They never parted, they're just built that way
D                                        Asus4
We had kin livin' south of the border
Bm              Cadd9                      Em7
They're a little older and they've been around
D                                   A/E            F#m
They wrote a letter life is a whole lot better
G                                                         Em7
So pull up your stakes, children and come on down

[Chorus]

D             G             Em7    Asus4 A
Acadian driftwood, gypsy tailwind,
G/B               D/A     G               Em7
They call my home, the land of snow
D              G               Em7    Asus4 A
Canadian cold front, movin' in
G/B            D/A       G  Bm      Em7 A7 D
What a way to ride, oh what a way to go

[Verse]

       D                               Asus4
Fifteen under zero when the day became a threat
Bm                    G                      Em7
My clothes were wet and I was drenched to the bone
D                                      A/E                        F#m
Been out ice fishing, mhmm, too much repetition
G                                      Em7
Make a man wanna leave the only home he's known
D                                       Asus4
Sailing out of the gulf headin' for Saint Pierre
Bm                Cadd9                   Em7
Nothin' to declare; All we had was gone
D                                       A/E                  F#m
Broke down along the coast, oh, but what hurt the most
G                                                        Em7
When the people there said "You'd better keep movin' on"

[Chorus]

D            G              Em7   Asus4 A
Acadian driftwood, gypsy tailwind,
G/B               D/A     G               Em7
They call my home, the land of snow
D              G               Em7   Asus4 A
Canadian cold front, movin' in
G/B            D/A       G  Bm      Em7 A7 D
What a way to ride, oh what a way to go

[Verse]

         D                            Asus4
Everlasting summer filled with ill content
Bm                        G                 Em7
This government had us walkin' in chains
D                                 A/E                   F#m
This isn't my turf, this ain't my season
G                                    Em7
Can't think of one good reason to remain
D                                             Asus4
we worked in the sugar fields up from New Orleans
Bm              Cadd9                  Em7
It was ever green up until the floods
D                                     A/E            F#m
You could call it an omen, points ya where you're goin'
G                                                         Em7
Set my compass north, I got winter in my blood

[Chorus]

D              G             Em7  Asus4 A
Acadian driftwood, gypsy tailwind,
G/B               D/A     G               Em7
They call my home, the land of snow
D              G               Em7   Asus4 A
Canadian cold front, movin' in
G/B             D/A       G Bm       Em7 A7 D
What a way to ride, oh what a way to go

[Outro]

D           Asus4 A  G/B          Em7
Sais tu, A-ca-di-e j'ai le mal du pays
D                    Asus4 A G/B        Em7
Ta neige, Acadie,      fait des larmes au solei
D          Asus4 A G/B            Em7                D
J'arrive Acadie,   teedle um, teedle um, teedle ooh
