	D	Asus4
The	war was over and the	spirit was broken

	Bm	Cadd9	Em7
	The hills were	smokin' as the m	en withdrew

D A/e F#m

We stood on the cliffs, Oh, and watched the ships

	G	Em7
	Slowly sinking to their	rendezvous

	D	Asus4
	They signed a treaty and our	homes were taken

	Bm	Cadd9	Em7
	Loved ones fo	rsaken, they didn't	give a damn

D A/e F#m

Tryin' to raise a family, end up the enemy

	G	Em7
	Over what went down on the plains of	Abraham

Chorus:

	D	G	Em7	Asus4	A
	Acadian	driftwood,	gypsy	tailwin	d,

	G/b	D/a	G	Em7
	They call my	home,	the land of	snow

	D	G	Em7	Asus4	A
	Canadian	cold front,	movin'	in

	G/b	D/a	G	Bm	Em7	A7	D
	What a way	to ride,	oh	what a	way	to	go

Then some returned to the motherland

The high command had them cast away

And some stayed on to finish what they started

They never parted They're just built that way

We had kin livin' south of the border

They're a little older and they've been around

They wrote a letter life is a whole lot better

So pull up your stakes, children and come on down

CHORUS

Fifteen under zero when the day became a threat

My clothes were wet and I was drenched to the bone

Been out ice fishing,mhmm,too much repetition

Make a man wanna leave the only home he's known

Sailing out of the gulf headin' for Saint Pierre

Nothin' to declare; All we had was gone

Broke down along the coast,oh,But what hurt the most

When the people there said "You'd better keep movin' on"

CHORUS

Everlasting summer filled with ill content

This government had us walkin' in chains

This isn't my turf,this ain't my season

Can't think of one good reason to remain

we worked in the sugar fields up from New Orleans

It was ever green up until the floods

You could call it an omen

Points ya where you're goin'

Set my compass north

I got winter in my blood

CHORUS

Coda,en francais to fade:

	D	Asus4	A	G/b	Em7
	Sais tu,	A-ca-d	i-e	j'ai le mal	du pays

	D	Asus4	A	G/b	Em7
	Ta neige, Acadi	e,	fai	t des lar	mes au solei

	D	Asus4	A	G/b	Em7	D
J	'arrive	Acadie	,	teedle um,	teedle um, teed	le ooh
