(Verse) D A Round hair and blue eyes, I was skinny and six E B I had second-hand skates and a new hockey stick E A It was northern Alberta and nobody thought D A That the kid from the farm would amount to a lot (Verse) D A Growing up how I did, well I knew how to work E B So I practiced my first year's guitar til I hurt E A Now I travel around and they pay me to play D A And when people ask me I'm so proud to say (Chorus) E A I'm a Canadian kid, born and bred E D E Have two boots, and to zed A E A Anywhere in this world that I may lay my head E B I'll still always be a Canadian kid (Verse) D A Now I sing everywhere and more that I see E B The more that I know that I'm lucky to be E A In a land where I'm sittin on top of the world D A With my 5% beer and Canadian girls (Chorus x2) E A I'm a Canadian kid, born and bred E D E Have two boots, and to zed A E A Anywhere in this world that I may lay my head E B I'll still always be a Canadian kid E B I'll still always be a Canadian kid
