Text File

Chorus: She's a rocky isle in the ocean And she's pounded by wind from the sea You might think that she's rugged and cold But she's home sweet home to me. G Bm C G She's bordered by inlets, tickles and sounds Em C D Reaches by coves and by bays Em D C G She soothes your vision and you sail round her shores D G With a mixture of greens, browns and grays. D C And the houses lie scattered among the rocks in the cove Em D C Trimmed with orange, green, yellow and blue G D C In twillingate, Fogo and Little Hearts' Ease G D G Fortune, Trout River, Fermeuse. Chorus: G D G She's a rocky isle in the ocean C G D And she's pounded by wind from the sea G Em C G You might think that she's rugged and cold D G But she's home sweet home to me. G Bm C G Been tortured for centuries her stories untold Em C D She struggled with fortunes unknown Em D C G Laid bare by the glaciers as they scraped her to the bone D G Taking soil to make Grand Bank shoals. D C G She's been battered for eons by the cold biting winds Em D C Chewing rocks to soft beaches of sand G D C And carving her face and giving us a place G D G That we now call Newfoundland. Chorus: G D G She's a rocky isle in the ocean C G D And she's pounded by wind from the sea G Em C G You might think that she's rugged and cold D G But she's home sweet home to me. G Bm C G The ocean surrounds her, it gives and it takes Em C D Like shepherd, lion and lamb Em D C G The pounding and grinding is a constant reminding D G Of the forces that follow the town D C From the fury of a blizzard on a cold winter's night Em D C To the quiet of a warm summer's day G D C All hardships forgotten, old debts are repaid D G With a day on a quiet peaceful bay. Chorus: G D G She's a rocky isle in the ocean C G D And she's pounded by wind from the sea G Em C G You might think that she's rugged and cold D G But she's home sweet home to me. G D G She's a rocky isle in the ocean C G D And she's pounded by wind from the sea G Em C G You might think that she's rugged and cold D G But she's home sweet home to me. D G Boy's she's home sweet home to me.
