[Intro] C C C C [Verse 1]
       C                                                      
Oh the prairie lights are burning bright, the chinook wind is a-moving in

                              F       
Tomorrow night I'll be Alberta bound

    G7                                                 
And though I've done the best I could, my old luck ain't been so good

                              C       
Tomorrow night I'll be Alberta bound
No one I've met could e're forget, the Rocky Mountain sunset
                                   F       
It's a pleasure just to be Alberta bound

      G7                                             
And I long to see my next of kin, to know what kind of shape they're in

                              C       
Tomorrow night I'll be Alberta bound
[Chorus]
C          F             C
 Alberta bound,  Alberta bound

               G7           C      C7
 It's good to be,   Alberta bound

           F             C
 Alberta bound,  Alberta bound

              G7            C       
 It's good to be,   Alberta bound
[Instrumental 1] C C C F G G G C [Instrumental 2] C C C F G G G C [Chorus]
C          F             C
 Alberta bound,  Alberta bound

               G7           C      C7
 It's good to be,   Alberta bound

           F             C
 Alberta bound,  Alberta bound

              G7            C       
 It's good to be,   Alberta bound
[Verse 2]
       C                                           
Oh the sky-line of Toronto, is something you'll get onto

                                              F
But they say you've got to live there for a while

    G7                                            
And if you've got the money, you can get yourself a honey

                                      C       
With a written guaran-tee to make you smile

        C                                               
Oh it's snowing in the city and the streets are brown and gritty

                                         F      
But I know there's pretty girls all over town

         G7                                         
But they never seem to find me, and the one I left be-hind me

                                   C       
Is the reason that I'll be Alberta bound
[Chorus]
C          F             C
 Alberta bound,  Alberta bound

               G7           C      C7
 It's good to be,   Alberta bound

           F             C
 Alberta bound,  Alberta bound

              G7            C       
 It's good to be,   Alberta bound

              G7            C       
 It's good to be,   Alberta bound
