Intro D A Em   D A D

VERSE 1
      D
I was born under the stars,
      A                 D
Never meant to journey far
           
From all the faces and the place
        G     A
That I called home
       D
And my father lived the same
         A            D
And his father before him
 
But now I see in my son's eyes
          G    A
Something has changed
        G                     A
And the smoke it has stopped rising
         G              D
From the chimney up the road
                         A               G
And the light no longer shines over the door
      D            A
Last year I lent a hand
             D               Em
The haul the boats unto the land 
              D               A                 G
They've been lyin' there for nineteen months Or more
      D                A              D
And I wonder will they lie there evermore

VERSE 2
       D
Wasn't many years ago
         A                     D
That the men 'round here would go
                                             G      A
Out in there skiffs and haul their traps out on the bay
         D
And then shortly they'd return
        A                 D
Loaded down from stem to stern
D                                        G A
And we'd off the fish then stow the gear away
        G             A
Now the waters are as barren
        G                   D
As the cliff that guard the cove 
                         A                G
And catch the north wind blowin' off the shore
      D             A
And I wonder how an ocean 
         D              Em
Turns as lifeless as a stone
      D               A              G       
And I wonder can the sea revive once more
      D                A             D
And I wonder will they lie there evermore

Solo
VERSE 3
       D
Well I hear some people say
        A             D
We'd be better off to stay ashore
    D                              G A
And train for jobs outside the fishery 
             D 
Now wouldn't I look like a fool? 
       A               D
To go traipsin' off to school
                             G     A
After forty years of livin' of the sea 
        G              A
Now my son he's barely twenty-one
     G           D 
And handy at the trawl
    D                  A             G
For years he helped my fish the Labrador
         D           A        G                 Em
Now he's movin' to Ontario before the first snowfall
           D                A                 G
Dad theirs nothin' left for me 'round here no more
      D             A                G
And I wonder will I see his children born
      D                 A            D 
And I wonder will they lie there evermore
