Ron Hynes - Cape Spear
## NOTE: ~ = Walk-Down from F to Dm ##
INTRO: C Em F ~ Dm G C G C
Em F ~ Dm
Me and Margaret grew up on the Southside
G Em D A Dm
Our house was two doors down
G F Em
Across the bay, the city lay a stone's throw away
Dm G
Though we weren't wanted over there in town
C Em F ~
When the summer turned, we'd hike the dusty highway
Dm G Em D A
Out to where the sun would split the rocks, I swear
Dm G F Em
Stand with our backs to the ocean spray
Dm G
Playing dangerous games of courage or dare
CHORUS:
C Em
Cape Spear, Cape Spear
F Em Dm G
These would be moments we would savour
C Em
Cape Spear, at Cape Spear
F Em Dm G F Em Dm G C
Time is but a face upon the wa-wa-wa-water
Em F Dm
Standing here, I still recall the morning
G Em D A Dm
We awoke, Margaret was gone
G F Em Dm
She hadn't run away, she wasn't taken by a wave, no, no, no
G C
It's not that kind of song
Em F ~
There's enough of sad stories passed on down
Dm G Em D A
Where old men weep and fishers' widows wail
Dm G F Em
But Margaret and her maiden aunt only went to town
Dm G
Tides turn, the world turns 'round
