[Verse 1]
N.C.    C#m
I am a rover, American
           G#              C#m
A pair of green eyes, 5 ft 10
          C#m
It was to be, my final dance
          G#                C#m
I rambled over La belle province
     A        C#m
Montreal, Rimouski
       G#          C#m
Repentigny, Chicoutimi
             A                  C#m
The light inside me is getting dim
          E        F#        G#  A G#
God can't help the state I'm in

[Verse 2]
N.C.    C#m
I met a man, his name was Joe
                 G#                  C#m
He said there's one place, you got to go
          C#m
Along the mighty Saguenay
         G#          C#m
We ended up at Chez Bebe
       A             C#m
Chez Bebe, j'ai ressaisi
        G#              C#m
La Picardie, je l'ai compris
            A                  C#m
The light inside me is getting dim
           E        F#       G# A G#
God can't help the state I'm in

[Chorus]
N.C.         C#m  N.C.        C#m
Poutine poutine, poutine poutine
N.C.           G#  N.C.        C#m
J'ai tellement faim, poutine poutine
N.C.         C#m  N.C.        C#m
Poutine poutine, poutine poutine
N.C.           G#  N.C.        C#m
C'est ça ou rien, poutine poutine

[Verse 3]
N.C.         C#m
Good morning sky, good morning sun
         G#               C#m
My prohibition has just begun
            C#m
I'll pack it in, I'll take the vow
           G#                 C#m
If I have friends, I need them now
              A              C#m
But when the sun falls in the west
            G#              C#m
I'm in the arms of a perfect mess
        A                 C#m
My only weakness, my only sin
           E        F#       G# A G#
God can't help the state I'm in

[Chorus]
N.C.         C#m  N.C.        C#m
