[Intro]
Em
[Verse]
D Em
You can smell the salt water, on a warm summer night,
C D Em
When you're walkin' along by the shore.
D Em
And a wave crashes up on the rocks with the tide,
C D Em
The silence is filled with a roar.
[Chorus]
G C G
Oh lovely Newfoundland, I do still miss you,
D G
Though we parted a long time ago.
C G
Oh lovely Newfoundland, I do still miss you,
D Em
And someday I'll be comin' home.
[Verse]
D Em
Fishermen lay out the blankets of cod,
C D Em
That dry in the warm summer sun.
D Em
Makin' a livin', ain't easy that way,
C D Em
They know that it has to be done.
[Verse]
D Em
The old men still gather along the stage head,
C D Em
And they talk about days that's gone by.
D Em
They see the young fishermen fightin' the tide,
C D Em
Just to find a way to get by.
[Chorus]
G C G
Oh lovely Newfoundland, I do still miss you,
D G
Though we parted a long time ago.
C G
Oh lovely Newfoundland, I do still miss you,
D Em
And someday I'll be comin' home.
[Verse]
D Em
Cod stocks have dried up, it's said they're all gone,
C D Em
But the Grand Banks they lure foreign men.
D Em
If the government they don't stand up for our rights,
C D Em
There'll be no home to go home to again.
[Chorus]
