( 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
( guitar 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
