[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.

[Verse]
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.

[Verse]
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
