Just to wake up [G] in the morning [Am] to the quiet [F] of the cold
[C] And hear Aunt [G] Bessie talking [C] to herself _ _
And to hear poor [G] Uncle John
[A] mumbling wishes to [F] O'Neil
[C] It made me [G] feel like everything [C] was fine. _
[G] I was born down [A] by the water
[F] It's here I'm [C] gonna stay
I've searched for [Am] all the reasons [F] why I should [C] go away
But I haven't [G] got the thirst [Am] for all those modern [F] day toys
[C] So I'll just take my chances [G] with those [C] saltwater joys
[F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ Following a [G] little bro [A] as it trickles to [F] the shore
[C] In the autumn when [G] the trees are [C] flaming red _ _
Kicking leaves that fall [G] around me [Am] watching sunset paint [F] the hills
[C] It's all I'll ever [G] need to feel [C] at home _ _
[G] This island that [Am] we cling to [F] has been handed down [C] with pride
[G] By folks who [Am] fought to live here [F] taking hardships all [C] in stride
So I'll compliment [G] her beauty
[Am] Hold on to my [F]
goodbyes and [C] I'll stay and take my chances [G] with those [C] saltwater joys
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
How can I leave [G] those mornings [A] with the sunrise on [F] the cove?
[C] And the gulls like [G] flies surrounding [C] Clayton's Wharf _
Platter's Island wrapped [G] in rainbow [Am] in the evening [F] after fog
[C] The ocean smells [G] our perfume to [C] my soul _
[G] Some go to [A] where the buildings [F] [C] reach to meet the clouds
[G] Where warm and [Am] gentle people turn [F] to swarm in [C] faceless crowds.
So I'll do [G] without their riches
Glamour [F] and the noise [C] and I'll stay and take my chances [G] with those
[C] saltwater joys
