(CAPO 3rd Fret)

(Verse 1)
G                            D
Should have seen it in your eyes
                         G
I could never read your eyes
                    D
So lost in love was I
                         G
It always took me by surprise
                           C
You were dreaminâ of the south land

How your love comes and goes
                         G
Oh, itâs just like the weather babe
                    Am       Am7
Only Heaven really knows

(Chorus)
Am                         D
Just like springtime in Alberta
                          G
Warm sunny days and the skies of blue
                  D
Then without a warning
                             G
Another winter storm comes raging through
                    C
And the mercuryâs fallinâ
              Bm      G
Iâm left all alone
                 Am     D
Springtime in Alberta
                  G
Chills me to the bone

(Verse 2)

I can see the storm clouds coming
Oh, theyâre dark across the sky
The same look Iâve seen so many times
When Iâve looked into your eyes
So Iâll turn up my old collar
Pull my hat way down low
Oh, the winds getting colder now
Dropping down to near zero

(Repeat Chorus)
Em7             Am     D
Springtime in Alberta
                G     D     G
Chilled to the bone
