[D] [A] [Bm]
[Em] [B] [Em]
[B] In the melting [D] snows of [A] Ontario where the wind will [B] make you [Em] shiver
[B] T'was the month of May [D] up in [A] Georgian Bay near the mouth of the [B] Musquash [D] River
Where the [A] bears prowl and the coyotes [D] howl and you can [A] hear the [B] osprey scream
[A] Back in 99 we were cutting pine [D] and [A] sending it [Bm] down the stream
Young Sandy Gray [D] came to go [A] home bay all the way from [B] PEI
Where the weather's [D] rough and it [A] makes it tough no man's afraid [Bm] to die
[D] Sandy [A] came a-smiling 30,000 [D] islands is the [F#m] place to [Bm] claim his glory
[A] Now Sandy's gone but his name lives [D] on this [A] is [Bm] Sandy's story
[D] Young Sandy [Bm] Gray lives [D] on today in the echoes of a [Bm] mighty owl
[A] Listen close and you'll hear a ghost [D] in this [C#m] story that [B] I tell
And [D] boys this [A] story that [Bm] I tell
Now Sandy Gray [D] was boss of the men [A] who'd toss the trees onto [Bm] the shore
They'd come and go [D] till they built [A] a flow 100,000 [Bm] logs or more
[D] And they'd ride [A] them down towards Severn Sound [D] to cut them [A] up in the [Bm] mills for timber
And [A] the ships would haul spring, summer, and fall [D] till the ice [A] came in [Bm] December
On one Sabbath [D] day big [A] Sandy Gray came into camp with a [B] Peavey on his shoulder
With a [D] thunder crack he dropped [A] his axe and the room got a little [B] bit colder
[Bm]
[D] Said, come on [A] all you we got work to do we [D] gotta give [F#m] her [B] all we can give her
[A] There's a jam of logs at the little jog [D] near the [A] mouth of the [B] Musquash River
With no time [D] to pray on the [A] Lord's day they were hoping [B] for God's forgiveness
But the jam [D] was high in a troubled [A] sky and they set out about [Bm] their business
[D] They poked [A] with their poles and ran with the [D] rolls and tried to stay [Bm] on their feet
[A] Every trick they tried one man cried [D] this log [A] jam's got [Bm] us beat
[D] But [Bm] Sandy Gray was not afraid [D] and he let out a [Bm] mighty yell
[A] I'll be damned we'll break this jam [D] or it's [A] breakfast [B] in hell boys
[D] [A] Breakfast [B] in hell

[Bm] every one of [D] the men did the work [A] of tannin sand he scrambled up to [Bm] the top
He's a-workin' like a [D] dog even 30 foot [A] logs and it looked like he'd never [Bm] stop
[D] And he struggled [A] on these men so strong [D] till the [A] jam began [Bm] to sway
[A] And they dove for cover to the banks of the river [D] all except [A] for [Bm] Sandy Gray
Now [B] with thoughts of death [D] they held [Em] their breath [A] as they saw their friend [Bm] go [E] down
[Bm] And they [D] all knew in a second or two [A] he'd be crushed or frozen [Bm] or drowned
[D] Then he saw him [A] fall they heard him call [D] just [A] once and it [Bm] was over
[A] Young Sandy Gray gave his life that day through the mouth of the [Bm] Muscox River
[D] But [Bm] Sandy Gray was not afraid [D] and he let out a [Bm] mighty yell
[A] I'll be damned we'll break this jam [D] or it's [C#] breakfast [B] in hell boys

[B] [Bm]
[Em] [Bm] He's the [D] giant's tomb there's plenty [A] of room there's no fences [Bm] and no walls
And if you listen close [D] you'll [A] hear a ghost down by Sandy [Bm] Gray [D] Falls
Through the tops [A] of the trees you'll hear in the [D] breeze the echoes of a [Bm] mighty [B] yell
I'll [Bm]
[E] [A] be damned we'll break this jam or [D] it's [A] breakfast [Bm] in hell
[D] And Sandy Gray [Bm] lives on [D] today in the echoes of a [Bm] mighty yell
[A] I'll be damned we'll break this jam or [D] it's [A] breakfast [B] in hell boys
[D] [A] Breakfast [Bm] in hell
