[Verse]

 C                            
Westward from the 
 G                  G 
Davis Strait, 'tis there '
              D
Twas said to lie
     C              
The sea route to 
     G         
the Orient for 
 G        D    Em 
Which so many died
 C                G             
Seeking gold and glory, 
           G         D     Em
Leaving weathered, broken bones
       C             
And a long-forgotten 
 G    D     Em    Em D
lonely cairn of stones

D        G        D                      
Ah, for just one time

The Northwest Passage
    C                       
To Find the hand 
     G 
of Franklin reaching 
 Am       G      C    
For the Beaufort Sea
 D       G        D        
Tracing one warm line 
           C              
Through a land 
             Em
So wild and savage
     C               
And make a northwest 
 G       D      G G G G
passage to the sea
 
 
[Verse]
       C              G            
Three centuries thereafter, 
          G     Em  D
I take passage overland
        C                  G            
In the footsteps of brave Kelso, 
           G       D      Em
Where his sea of flowers began
          C             G             
Watching cities rise before me, 
        G       D   Em     
Then behind me sink again
      C           G     
This tardiest explorer,
  D       Em               D
 driving hard across the plain
 
 
[Chorus]

D        G        D            C              
Ah, for just one time I would take
