Malinky – Flowers Of Saskatchewan chords

[Intro]
C    F  C    F  C    G  C

[Verse]
N.C.        C              F       CThe sun was shining on the English Channel
     F     C       G        COn a ferry off the coast of France
                        F        CAnd it was summer and a pleasant morning
    F     C          G           CAnd high above gulls wheeled and danced
          F                  Am  GAnd high above the cliffs of morning
          C                       FThe gun emplacements had stood in ranks
N.C.         C    F      CAnd I walked over to the railings
    F         C             G       CAnd heard the ghosts of the Calgary tanks

[Instrumental]
C    F  C    F  C    G  C

[Verse]
N.C. C            F        CAnd  I remembered pictures I'd seen
   F       C         G   CIn history books and magazines
                       F        COf three men standing, smoking, staring
 F        C         G     CAmong the dead on a rocky beach
           F                      Am  GAnd in the light of that pleasant morning
             C                 FAs we sailed under the cliffs above
N.C.      C            F      CI thought of all their silent prayers
        F     C               G         C      F  C    G  CAnd the final thoughts of the ones they loved

[Verse]
N.C.             C       F       CThat they left behind at prairie stations
F      C        G         CWaving to their pride and joy
              F       CWaving to the smiling faces
F       C            G       CSmiling faces of the soldier boys
            F                 Am  GNo waves of grain could claim the fallen
                  C                FJust the Channel, cold and grey as steel
N.C.     C           F       CAnd no return to the rolling prairie
     F      C          G      COr a silent cross on a lonely field

[Instrumental]
C    F  C    F  C    G  C

[Verse]
                           F       CThe sun was shining on the rolling prairie
    F        C        G        CFar from the Channel, cold and grey
                       F           CShone on the families, friends and lovers
       F       C        G         COf the prairie boys who fell that day
                   F                  Am  GBut they could not know on that sunny morning
           C                FThe future held for them no joy
N.C.           C       F       CThey'd wait in vain at prairie stations
F       C              G       CWait in vain for their soldier boys
