[Verse 1]
G                  C           G
Sault Saint Marie, be sweet to me.
C               Am         G
I ain’t the dude I used to be.
G                             C           G
I curved hockey sticks on the curb in the street.
    C                Am  G
And Sault Saint Marie be sweet.

[Verse 2]
G                           C       G
That’s when I was living on college pay.
 C           Am  G
450 a week, 65 a day.
G                           C           G
These days I would not, but back then I might.
              C                       Am   G
‘Cause when I look at it now it’s the same light.

[Verse 3]
G                 C      G
Let us now praise simple men.
    C                     Am    G
Without whom the work may never end.
G                     C       G
Me and my brother and all his friends,
C                 Am     G
Let us now praise simple men.

[Verse 4]
G                         C           G
And let us not regret our goodness of heart.
                   C                        Am         G
They told me ‘you ain’t got the money, boy, don’t even start’.
G                           C           G
These days I would not, but back then I might.
              C                       Am   G
‘Cause when I look at it now it’s the same light.
             C                        Am   G
Yeah, when I look at it now, it’s the same light.
