_ _ As _ I gaze upon the water _ and the salty winds blow,
_ As I look out at the mountains _ and the rivers,
Reaching out my [F] _
home, _ _ my [C] homeland. _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] And I can [Am] almost see [C] them [F] standing through the [G] pain from many [C] years ago.
_ _ _ Now many years have come and gone, _ and no children have been born.
And as it comes, my generation _ _ understands that I'm so
_ My [F] _ _
_ _ home, my _ [C] homeland.
And at _ least I can [Am] see the road my [F] forefathers [G] walked [C] many years _ ago.
_ _ My [G] homeland, _ _ _ _ I'm [Am] a [E] song, I'm proud to [F] call you [C] home.
Hear the [G] ocean call, _ _ you [Em] breathe [Am] down in [E] shadows [F] from the past.
The [C] mother tide we [G] left behind, _ _ _ my [C] homeland. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I remember _ when I was young, I got to live in sad times.
I'm home for the day, and the land we're from,
And the people and legacy of the days to come.
_ [F] My home, _ _ my _ [C] homeland.
_ _ _ _ I [A] remember my mother's warm [C] embrace as [F] she wiped the tears from [G] my face [C] many years ago.
_ _ _ Her [Bb] arms and memory can be shown on those [F] that I've met,
[Bb] To a journey which [D] cost the seldomest [G] least to bring _ [D] me to my [G] home.
_ _ And [Bm] left their [Em] [C] home for _ me, _ _ my [G] homeland.
_ _ _ _ I'm [Am] a song, [E] I'm proud to [F] call you home.
[C] Hear the ocean [G]
call, _ _ you breathe [Am] down in [E] shadows [F] from the past.
The [C] mother tide we [G] left behind, _ _ my _ [C] homeland.
_ _ _ _ My [G] homeland, _ _ _ _ I'm [Am] a song, [E] I'm proud to [F] call you [C] home.
Hear the [G] ocean call, _ _ you breathe [Am] down in [E] shadows [F] from the past.
The [C] mother tide we left [G]
behind, _ _ my _ [C] homeland.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] My _ _ home, my _ [C] homeland.
