[Verse 1]
D A
I got out when the summer came
Bm A7 G
Never knew what became of you
D
All I thought about as I headed south
A7
Was your mouth and your eyes so blue
G D Dsus2
In a trailer park that was dingy and dark
Bm A E
Not the spark of a single dream
C Bm
In a company town where the dark gold
A A7
Slept in the frozen ground
[Chorus]
G D Dsus2
It was 40 below, it was ice snow
Bm E
North of the timber line
G A G
The northern lights would shine like diamonds
A
Shine like diamonds
G A7 D
You wouldn’t even mind cryin
[Verse 2]
D A
The Syncrude boys with bets on the side
Bm A G
On when the Athabasca would break
D
When the ice would crack and the river rushed
A7
Like a prisoner about to escape
G D
There’d be forty-five guys and five women
Dsus2 Bm A E
Sinking down doubles at the Synhouse bar
C
Where you can face that scene
Bm A A7
On a TV dinner and frozen stars
[Chorus]
G D
The days would grant you no relief
Dsus2 Bm A E
And the nights were just as kind
G A G
The northern lights would shine like diamonds
A
Shine like diamonds
