[G] [D] [C]
[D] [G] Over [D] an ocean [G] and over [D] a sea
[G] Beyond these [D] great waters, [Am] oh, what do I [D] see?
Well, [G] I see the [D] great mountains
[G] The climb from [D] the coastline
[Gm] The hills of [D] Cape Breton
[Am] This new home [D] of [C] mine
[D] Oh, [G] and we come from [D] the [G] countries all over the world
[C] Back at [G] the forests [Am] to plow the [D] land down
[Em] Fishermen, [D]
farmers, [G] and sailors all come
[C] Clear for [G] the future, [D] this pioneer [G] ground
We are [C] an [G] island, a rock in [D] the street
[G] We are [Am] a people [Em] as proud as [D] there's been
[G] In soft [C] summer [G] breeze or in wild winter [D] wind
[Em] The home of [D] our [C] hardscape [G] Breton
[D]
[C] [E] [D] [G]
Over [D] the rooftops [G] and over the [D] trees
[G] Within these [D] new townships, [Am] oh, what do I [D] see?
[G] Well, I see the black bit heads
The coal wheels are turning
The smokestacks [D] are belching
[Am] And the blast [D] furnace [C] burning
[D]
[G] Oh, and the sweat on the [D] back is [G] no joy to behold
[C] In the heat of [G] a steel plant [Am] or mine in [D] the cold
[Em] And the foreign [D]-owned [G] companies forced us to fight
[C] For our [G] survival [Am] and for [G] our rights
We are [C] an [G] island, a rock in [D] the street
[G] We are [Am] a people [E] as proud as [D] there's been
[G] In soft summer breeze or in wild winter [D]
wind
[Em] The home of [D] our [C] hardscape [G]
Breton
[D] [C] [E]
[D] [G] Over [D] the highways [G] and over [D] the roads
[G] Over [D] the causeway, stories are told
[G] They tell of [D] the coming [G] and the going [D] away
[G] Cities [D] of America [Am] draw me [D] [C] away
[D] [G] Oh, and the companies [D] come and [G] the companies go
[C] And the ways [G] of the world [Am] we may never [D] know
[Em] We'll follow [D] the footsteps [G] of those on their way
[C] And still ask [G] for the right [Am] to leave or [G] to stay
We are an island, a rock in [D] the street
[G] We are [Am] a people [Em] as proud as [D] there's been
[G] In soft summer breeze or in wild winter [D] wind
[Em] The home [D] of our [C] hardscape [G] Breton
We are an island, a rock in [D] the street
[G] We are [Am] a people [E] as proud as [D] there's been
[G] In soft summer breeze or in wild [D] winter wind
[Em] The home [D] of our [C] hardscape [D] [G] Breton
