Version 1
            [Verse 1]
A
East of beautiful Alberta
D                 A
North of old Montan'
E                          A     A/G#   F#
The livings fine, when the springtime's kind
     B              E
To a bovine raising man
A
Where they sort 'em, and stretch 'em, and tail 'em down
A                          D
Like they did in days gone by
D                        A
And good slab fence, and common sense
E                      A
Are ne'er in short supply
[Verse 2]
A
Where the iron still hits the fire
D                                   A
And the rope's thrown straight and true
E                               A    A/G#   F#
And they scorch their hides, till upon their sides
B                    E
The brand is showing through
A
And the spring time turns with the coulee's curve
A                      D
And it's summer once again
D                      A
Whoopi ti yi yo, at the rodeo
E                         A
And we pray our buddies win
[Chorus]
E
It's Western swing and waltzes
        D              A
Like to wear out your boots
E
It's horsehair floors, and Louis L'Amour
B                    E
After they close the chutes
A
When they've rode up all the rank ones
A                         D
And the chucks are out of sight
D                      A
It's Western swing and waltzes'
E               A
In Saskatchewan tonight
[Interlude]

[[Chorus]
E
It's Western swing and waltzes
        D              A
Like to wear out your boots
E
It's horsehair floors, and Louis L'Amour
B                    E
After they close the chutes
A
When they've rode up all the rank ones
A                         D
And the chucks are out of sight
D                      A
It's Western swing and waltzes'
E               A
In Saskatchewan tonight
D                      A
It's Western swing and waltzes'
E               A
In Saskatchewan tonight
[Outro]
