Come On Home Chords by Bob Porter

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Oh, the morning sun it shines [Eb] on the [Bb] harbours and the bay,
[F] And the fishing [Bb] boats they ride [Gm] against the wave, _
[Bb] Heading out once more to Daly Brad to May. _
[G] As I [Bb] stared out of the window [Eb] of our old two [Bb]-storey home,
[Eb] Like I'd done [Bb] so many times [G] before I roamed,
[Eb] _
[Bb] Leaving behind [F] every friendship [Bb] that I own. _
Now the road's a little rocky, [Eb] but I'll make it [Bb] somewhere new,
[Eb] And new friendships [Bb] I will give to [Gm] oh so few,
[Eb] _
[Bb] Who'll remind me of old Newfoundland and you.
So [Eb] come on home, _ [Bb] come on home to [Gm]
Newfoundland,
[F] Where the waters [C] of the ocean [Bb] keep our land. _
[Eb] Come on home to Newfoundland, [Bb] greet the welcome [Gm] if you can,
[Bb] We can walk the rocky shoreline hand in hand. _
There's old men who'll sit and tell you [Eb] of hard [Bb] times and days gone by,
[Eb] And they'll collar up their stories with [Gm] now and then the [Eb] lies.
[Bb] They're the masters [C] of the heartfelt [Bb] words of joy,
And on those friendly smiling faces you [Eb] can find a [Bb]
Newfoundland.
[Eb] With a wink and nod [Bb] they'll always [Gm] shake your hand,
[Eb] _
[Bb] And through hard times [F] they have always took [Bb] their stand.
Oh, I miss the Isle of Daly, [Eb] all her dirt roads [Bb] and her shores,
[Eb] And the [Bb] weather-beaten stages [Gm] where the fish were [Eb] stored,
And [Bb] each [F] small town had their own own [Bb] general store.
So come [Eb] on home, come [Bb] on home to [Gm] Newfoundland,
[F] Where the [C] waters of the ocean keep [Bb] our land. _
Come [Eb] on home to Newfoundland, [Bb] greet the welcome [Gm] if you can,
[Bb] We can walk the [F] rocky shoreline [Bb] hand in hand.
And in the year of 97, it's [Eb] our anniversary,
It's 500 [Bb] years since Trafford [Gm] sailed the sea,
[Eb]
The [Bb] Gannistery [F] that's home to you [Bb] and me.
For someday I'm going back there, and [Eb] then no more will [Bb] I roam,
For [Eb] no [Bb] other place I've been can I [Gm] call home.
[Eb]
I [Bb] long for family [F] and friends, I love [Bb] them dearly.
So come [Eb] on home, come [Bb] on home to [Gm] Newfoundland,
[F] Where the [C] waters of the ocean keep [Bb] our land. _
Come [Eb] on home to Newfoundland, greet [Bb] the welcome [Gm] if you can,
[Bb] We can walk the rocky [F] shoreline [Bb] hand in hand. _
Come [Eb] on home to Newfoundland, greet [Bb] the welcome [Gm] if you can,
We [F] can walk the rocky shoreline [Bb] hand in hand. _ _
