[Verse 1]
          G            G           C            G
There's a spot that is dear to the heart of old cowboys
    C             G         D            D7
Who once rode the broncos - darn hard to tame
 G           G             C              G
Ahead in the saddle at the first creak of daylight
C         G           D       G      G
Singin’ a song of old Alberta plains

[Chorus 1]
   G        G           C           G
O, carry me back to the plains of Alberta
  G          G           D            D7
I long to go back to the wide rollin' range
     G            G          C           G
On a bright sunny hillside I sit there a dreamin
C              G           D       G     G
Those good old days on ol' Alberta plains

[Verse 2]
    G           G          C           G
The lull of the cattle - a flamin' sun settin'
C          G          D             D7
Brandin' a stray, but ain't none to blame
   G            G              C        G
Up rose a chuck wagon, and the old cook complaining
C               G           D       G      G
It's all in the life on old Alberta range

[Chorus 2]
   G        G           C           G
O, carry me back to the plains of Alberta
  G          G           D            D7
I long to go back to the wide rollin' range
      G          D           C       G
Yodel-ay-hee oh, lay-eee-oh, lay-dee eee
      G              D              G     G
Yodel-ay-hee oh, del-ay-hee oh, del-ya-eee

[Verse 3]
     G          G           C             G
I've ridden the ranges they call dear old Texas,
C             G        D              D7
Crossed to Montana, to me they're the same.
             G           G            C          G
Well there's no place on earth that I love so sincerely
   C        G           D       G       G
To be back again on ol' Alberta plains

[Chorus 3]
   G        G           C           G
O, carry me back to the plains of Alberta
  G          G           D            D7
I long to go back to the wide rollin' range
     G            G          C           G
On a bright sunny hillside I sit there a dreamin
C              G           D       G     G
Those good old days on ol' Alberta range

[Verse 4]
    G            G           C         G
The pale moon is riding high up in the heaven.
C          G       D                 D7
Feelin’ so lonely, heart filled with pain
     G          G           C           G
If I only could swing once again in the saddle
C                 G         D       G       G
Like I did years ago on ol' Alberta plains

[Chorus 4]
   G        G           C         G
O, carry me back to the plains of Alberta
  G          G           D           D7
I long to go back to the wide rollin range
      G          D           C       G
Yodel-ay-hee oh, lay-eee-oh, lay-dee eee
      G              D              G     G
Yodel-ay-hee oh, del-ay-hee oh, del-ya-eee

[Chorus 5]
   G        G           C         G
O, carry me back to the plains of Alberta
  G          G           D           D7
I long to go back to the wide rollin range
     G            G          C           G
On a bright sunny hillside I sit there a dreamin
C              G           D       G
Those good old days on ol' Alberta range
