Intro
A  A  A  A  
D G  D  D
                                G
Let me sing you a picture
                        D
Of an Alberta sky
                                A
It’s as wide as the world
                                  D
And about twice as high
                                     G
First the golden pink sunrise
                                         D
Warms the land with its hue
                            A                       
Then a new day begins
                                  D   G   D                                         
Wrapped in Alberta Blue

                                           G      
When the sun meets the mountains
                                    D
Those blue Rockies ignite
                               A
Then and Alberta day
                                    D
Becomes an Alberta night
                                          G
See the northern lights dancing
                                              D
Watch them shimmer and shine
                                   A
Then the big prairie moon
                                     D     G   D
Rides the big prairie sky

                                            Bm
Out on the range and old cowboy
                                     F#m
Sings his song to his heard
                                    E
While stars hung on velvet
                                A  (mod.)  B
Twinkle with every word

                               A
Let me sing you a picture
                                    E
Lord I swear that it’s true
                                 B
There’s nothing as wondrous
                   C#m   A
As Alberta blue
                                      B
No there’s nothing as wondrous
                   E     A    E
As Alberta blue
