Verse 1
     A 
Over a hundred years ago 
     D                  A 
A line was built from coast to coast 
     D                         A 
Now were layin steel for the Iron Horse 
         B7           E 
From the 49 to the Great White North 
       A 
The Yukon River hauled the ore 
          D             A 
But the paddle wheels turn no more 
        D                      A 
So we'll snake her up to the Artic Shore 
         B7                 E 
And the mighty wheels will roll
