Born In Ontario

D 
You might see me down in Alabama 
   G 
Or Baton Rouge down in Louisiana 
D 
I might make it up to Detroit City 
      G 
Where people work hard and life is gritty 
    D 
It don't really matter where I am 
     A 
It's what I do, it's what I can 
D 
This old world has been good to me 
     G 
So I try to give back and I want to be free

(chords are the same throughout) 

I still like to sing a happy song 
Once in a while and things go wrong 
I might pick up a pen, scribble on a page 
Try to make sense of my inner rage 
One cold winter we went down south 
With daddy's typewriter for a couple of months 

And I was born in Ontario 
I was born in Ontario,  
Ontario, Ontario, Ontario 

Solo

I was born in Ontario 
Where the black fly bites 
And the green grass grows 
That's where I learned most of what I know 
Cause you don't learn much 
When you start to get old 
I left home at a tender young age 
Cause mom and daddy never liked to stay 
In any one place for very long 
We just kept moving, moving on 

I was born in Ontario 
I was born in Ontario,  
Ontario, Ontario, Ontario
