[Intro]
E

[Verse 1]
E
Well, I knew what I wanted to do in life
E
When I was old enough to use me a skinning knife
A
I left my home in Saskatchewan
E
Northwest Territory, here I come
B7
Daddy said, "Son, you better understand
E N.C. E
It's a mighty rough life when you're a trapper man"

[Verse 2]
E
Well, he offered me a job in Ontario
E
Where the chinchilla mate and the silver fox grow
A
But a farm ain't the place my daddy had said
E
It just ain't right when you catch 'em in bed
B7
Get my furs from the water and the land
E N.C. E
With the help of the Lord, I'll be a trapper man
F

[Verse 3]
F
After 13 years, I can tell you this
F
If you wanna be a trapper and you get that itch
A#
Remember it's cold in the long, long night
F
I lost two good fingers and my feet ain't right
C7
There's a real good price for a first-class pelt
F N.C. F
But you gotta be careful not to trap yourself
F#
