Canadian Whiskey
Tom Russell



           G         D
In the hills of Montana
                 C           G
There's a timber wolf howlin'
       C           G
The Rangers are prowlin'
         C          D
For a woman alone
G               D
She'd run away
C           G
From an Indian lover
C               G
He'll never recover
       D                   G
She turned him to stone

(Chorus)


G      D      C               G
She drank Canadian whiskey
C                    G
Pure blended whiskey
       C                D
She drank it like wine
      G                    D
Her eyes were the color
    C               G
Of Canadian whiskey
C                    G
Pure blended whiskey
     D                      G
So light brown and fine

(solo)

G            D
Twenty years later
   C         G
I heard of a woman
 C               G
She's living alone
          C                  D
Up by Yellowstone Creek
       G                D
And old Trapper John
                C            G
Brings her cases of whiskey
C             G
Canadian whiskey
              D                     G
He says she never will speak


(Chorus)2X

G      D      C               G
She drank Canadian whiskey
C                    G
Pure blended whiskey
       C                D
She drank it like wine
      G                    D
Her eyes were the color
    C               G
Of Canadian whiskey
C                    G
Pure blended whiskey
     D                      G
So light brown and fine
