Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Matapedia [Intro] C [Verse 1]
                                                  F
Her hair was dyed black and she was bending down
Picking something from off the ground
        C
She was seventeen

                             G
And he said, "Oh my god, it's Kate"

          C                       G
She said "No, I'm the daughter of Kate

           F               C
My name is Martha, who are you?

G                                     C
Ma never told me, never told me about you"
[Interlude] C F G C [Verse 2] He put his big middle-aged hands upon her shoulders
       F
And he looked her in the eyes

                       C
Just like a boy of nineteen would do

                 G
And she was not afraid

                 C        G
No, she was not afraid
[Verse 3]
C
Once upon a time two kids in love, in a car, were flyin' over mountains

                                                   F
Trying to catch a boat that'd take 'em up river to home
[Chorus]
                   G   C   G
And they raced the Matapedia

F
Sixty minutes, sixty miles
Thirty minutes, thirty miles Twenty minutes, twenty miles Ten, nine, eight
    C          G
And I was not afraid

               C
No, I was not afraid
[Interlude] C F G C [Verse 4] Well, we made the boat with minutes to spare
              F
And we crossed on over to the other side

                   C
Back home, safe and sound

                  G
But I could not slow down

                  C          G
No, I could not slow down

               C
(I could not slow down)
[Chorus]
    F            G   C   G
And we raced the Matapedia

F
Sixty minutes, sixty miles
Thirty minutes, thirty miles Twenty minutes, twenty miles Ten, nine, eight
    C             G
But I could not slow down

                  C          G
No, I could not slow down

               C
(I could not slow down)

               G
And I was not afraid

               C        G    C
No, I was not afraid

            G
(I was not afraid)

               C
And I was not afraid
