D                        Asus4
The war was over and the spirit was broken,
Bm              Cmaj9          Em7
The hills were smokin' as the men withdrew.
D                      Esus4                 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            Cmaj9              Em7
Loved ones forsaken, they didn't give a damn.
D                        Esus4       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
Acadian driftwood, gypsy tailwind,
Bm          Asus4 G            Em7
They call my home the land of snow.
D         G         Em7     Asus4
Canadian cold front, movin' in,
G       D      G              Em7     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
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 been around
They wrote in a letter life is a whole lot better
So pull up your stakes, children, and come on down

chorus

Fifty under zero when the day became a threat
My clothes were wet and I was drenched to the bone
Then out ice fishin', too much repetition
Make a man want to leave the only home he's known

Sailed out of the Gulf, headed for St. Pierre
Nothing to declare, all we had was gone
Broke down along the coast, what hurt the most
When the people there said, "you better keep movin' on"

chorus

Everlastin' summer filled with ill-contempt
This government had us walkin' in chains
This isn't my turn, this isn't my season
Can't think of one good reason to remain

We worked in the sugar fields up from New Orleans
It was evergreen up until the flood
You could call it an omen, point you where you're goin'
Set my compass North, I got winter in my blood

chorus

D        Dsus4 D Em7
Sais tu, Acadie  j'ai le mal du pays,
Ta neige, Acadie, fait des larmes au soleil
J'arrive Acadie, teedle um, teedle um, teedle oo
J'arrive Acadie, teedle um, teedle um, teedle oo
J'arrive Acadie, teedle um, teedle um, teedle oo
J'arrive Acadie, teedle um, teedle um, teedle oo
J'arrive Acadie, teedle um, teedle um, teedle oo
