Richard Shindell - Acadian Driftwood
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: C F Dm C (2x)
G Am
The war was over and the spirit was broken
F C
The hills were smoking as the men withdrew
G Dm
We stood on the cliffs, oh, and watched the ships
F C
Slowly sinking to their rendezvous
G Am
They signed a treaty and our homes were taken
F C
Loved ones forsaken, they didn't give a damn
G Dm
Tried to raise a family, you end up the enemy
F C
Over what went down on the plains of Abraham
CHORUS:
F Am G C
Acadian driftwood, gypsy tailwind
F Dm F C
They call my home, the land of snow
F Am G Am
Canadian cold front, moving in, oh
C/G F Dm7 C F Dm C
What a way to ride, oh, what a way to go
G Am
Some returned to the motherland
F C
The high command had them cast away
G Dm
Some stayed on to finish what they started
F C
They never parted, they're just built that way
G Am
We had kin living south of the border
F C
They're a little older and they've been around
G Dm
They wrote a letter, "Life here is a whole lot better,
F C
So pull up stakes children, come on down."
CHORUS:
