Well, me and the girl we had a little farm south of the river road.
   C                             Bb                       F            C
A little shingle shack and some cattle in the barn and we grew our own food.
    C              Bb           F                  C
We didn't have any money but it never crossed our minds
   C                         Bb                F                    C
We grew to share and we were happy there just watching the years go by.

Until one day I come home there was a big black car parked out of my back door
      C                     Bb                  F                    C
And a government man with a fat cigar said we couldn't live there anymore
            C              Bb        F                    C
Said they'd pay us for the land but never for the work we did
               C                     Bb                  F                C
And they were gonna turn it in to a holiday park and a drag-strip for the kids

[Chorus]
C                   Bb                       F                    C
I told him, I would meet him on the Indiana road with a gun in my hand but he never showed
C                 Bb              F                 C
Said he couldn't bring himself to sink himself that low
C                   Bb                       F                    C
I told him, I would meet him on the Indiana road with a gun in my hand but he never showed
C       Bb              F                      C
He went back to Ottawa, Toronto or wherever it is they go

[Verse]
         C                   Bb                        F            C
Well we wired ahead and the girl's family said to come back to Calgary
C               Bb           F                     C
We decided that she would go on back there without me
         C                   Bb                     F                   C
And I'll never forget those tears in her eyes as I held her face in my hand
   C                  Bb                    F                   C
I turned around and I headed for town and I never looked back again

[Chorus]
C                   Bb                       F                    C
I told him, I would meet him on the Indiana road with a gun in my hand but he never showed
C                 Bb              F                 C
Said he couldn't bring himself to sink himself that low
C                   Bb                       F                    C
I told him, I would meet him on the Indiana road with a gun in my hand but he never showed
C       Bb              F                      C
He went back to Ottawa, Toronto or wherever it is they go

Now I live in an old Ford van at the end of a dead end road
        C                         Bb             F              C
And the girl she stopped sending letters must be seven years or more
C             Bb                      F          C
Me, I spend a lot of time down on the Indiana ya know
      C                     Bb              F              C
And I draw a bead but there ain't no need I don't shoot anymore

C       Bb              F                      C
He went back to Ottawa, Toronto or wherever it is they go
C       Bb              F                      C
He went back to Ottawa, Toronto or wherever it is they go
C       Bb              F                      C
He went back to Ottawa, Toronto or wherever it is they go
