Northwest Passage
Stan Rogers
Key : D
Capo
[Chorus]
---------------------
        D        A
Ah, for just one time
        G                  Bm
I would take the Northwest Passage
   G                D
To find the hand of Franklin
         G       D        G
Reaching for the Beaufort Sea
        D        A
Tracing one warm line
          G                Bm
Through a land so wild and savage
    G                D       Em     D
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea

[Verse 1]
---------------------
Westward from the Davis Strait
'Tis there 'twas said to lie
The sea route to the Orient
For which so many died
Seeking gold and glory,
Leaving weathered, broken bones
And a longforgotten lonely cairn of stones



[Verse 2]
---------------------
Three centuries thereafter
I take passage overland
In the footsteps of brave Kelso
Where his sea of flowers began
Watching cities rise before me
Then behind me sink again
This tardiest explorer
Driving hard across the plain



[Verse 3]
---------------------
And through the night, behind the wheel
The mileage clicking west
I think upon Mackenzie,
David Thompson and the rest
Who cracked the mountain ramparts
And did show a path for me
To race the roaring Fraser to the sea



[Verse 4]
---------------------
How then am I so different
From the first men through this way?
Like them, I left a settled life
I threw it all away
To seek a Northwest Passage
At the call of many men
To find there but the road back home again
