Chords for My Newfoundland Shore by Isle Aux Morts Boys written by Ellis coles

_ _ [G] _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
I was just 22 [A] when it came to [D] my mind To leave my own [A] town, the Navy, [D] to join
They said, we will train you, be ready for war So I left my home [A] on the [D] Newfoundland shore
Days passed into [A] months so [D] quickly I found _ As I stood on the [A] deck of the ship [D] Albert bound
A Navy _ [G] destroyer, an old [D] man of war _ Was taking me [A] away from my [D] Newfoundland shore _
Each night as I [A] stood beneath the [D] moonlit sky The picture I [A] saw brought tears [D] to my eyes
A great floating [G] monster on [D] iron and steel Built for [E] destruction and dressed for [D] to kill
I thought of my [A] darling so [D] far away My two little [A] girls back in [D] Notre Dame Bay
_ I knew they were lonely [G] and [D] was waiting for Their daddy's [A] return to the [D] Newfoundland shore
_ I sailed the great oceans [A] to the [D] faraway land Saw the windmills of Holland, [A] Lambert, [D] New Descends
_ San Juan, Puerto Rico, [G] there was much [D] to adore What moon could [A] compare to my [D] Newfoundland shore
Through the Arctic, [A] sandstorms of old times seemed [D] to roll on One month brought [A] another, soon five [D] years were gone
One day came a message and soon I was told You've served your term well [A] son, you're now [D] free to go
As I stood before the [A] captain it was my [D] great day He said, son we'll miss [A] you, we sure hope [D] you'll stay
I sailed in my land, you're aware of them no more I'm going back home [A] sir to my Newfoundland [D] shore
_ When I reach my home town, no uniform I wore My two little girls met me at the door
We can tell by your clothes dad you ain't gone no more To leave us and [A] mommy in your [D] Newfoundland shore
We can tell by your clothes dad you ain't gone no more To leave us alone [A] on your [D] Newfoundland shore _ _ _ _ _
