Cathie Ryan - Liberty's Sweet Shore
Capo 2

[Intro]
C

[Verse 1]
G/B F C
In this fading light the mainland
G/B F G
Lies vague out on the horizon
C G/B F G F
A lighthouse beaming its welcome
Dm G C F G
To Gross Isle and liberty’s sweet shore

[Verse 2]
C G/B F C
For three months and a day we’ve been sailing
G/B F G
Around pinnacles of ice we’ve been steering
C G/B F G F
Storms and Nor’easters a raging
Dm G C F G
To deliver us to liberty’s sweet shore

[Chorus]
F C
Sailing to liberty’s sweet shore
F Dm7 G
Sailing to liberty’s sweet shore
F
We left all we know
Am C
To this new life we’ll go
F G C F
Sailing to liberty’s sweet shore

[Verse 3]
C G/B F C
Two pounds a head for the passage
G/B F G
With ease our landlord surrendered
C G/B F G F
And wiped his hands clean as he tendered
Dm G C F G
From a distance he watched us all go

[Verse 4]
C G/B F C
We sailed the fifth day of September
G/B F G
Two hundred poor souls crammed together
C G/B F G F
From our families and homeland we’re severed
Dm G C F G
The clothes on our backs all we own

[Chorus]
F C
Sailing to liberty’s sweet shore
