I'm a Newfoundlander [E] born and bred and I'll be one till I die
I'm proud to be an Islander and here's the reasons why
I'm [Dm] free as the wind and [E] the waves wash the sand
There's no [Em] place I would rather [Fm] be than [Em] here in Newfoundland
spent some time in New York State and nearly lost my mind
city life's too fast for me, nobody had the time
the steel and fashion, nice was all that I could see
be good for New York State but it's not good for me
I'm proud to be an Islander and here's the reasons why
I'm [Dm] free as the wind and [E] the waves wash the sand
There's no [Em] place I would rather [Fm] be than [Em] here in Newfoundland
spent some time in New York State and nearly lost my mind
city life's too fast for me, nobody had the time
the steel and fashion, nice was all that I could see
be good for New York State but it's not good for me
