Chorus
        G                   A7        D 
it’s a long way from the caribou to Nashville 
        G                 A7       Bmin 
and I gotta’ walk every mile of the way 
          G               A7      D        C   G 
if it’s taking all this time to cross the BC line 
       G                   A7             D 
maybe it ain’t worth the price I have to pay 
 
Verse 1
     Bmin                    A7          D 
it’s so hard to climb those big old rocky mountains 
                    G               A7      Bmin 
but I don’t wanna’ leave my green valley down below 
       A7                           D             G 
is the road so big and wide going down the other side 
       G                 A7              Bmin 
if I don’t look well I guess I’ll never know

and I gotta’ walk every mile of the way 
          G               A7      D        C   G

Verse 2
     E             B7            E 
the river runs so softly by the window 
           C#min 
playing me a song 
  F#min     C#min 
nature’s melody 
              B7 
friend, I’d like to stop and rest 
          E                  A 
where I know I’ve heard the best 
       C#min          B7             E 
but Nashville I can hear you calling me
