Welcome to the Rock — Come From Away (Lyric Video) [OBC] Chords

[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
On the northeast tip of North America, [G] on an island called Newfoundland, [C] there's an airport.
It used to be one of the biggest airports [D] in the world, and next to it is a town called [E] Canter.
Welcome to [C] the Rock if you come from [D] away.
You probably [C] understand about a half of what we say.
They say no man's an island, but an island makes [F#m] a man.
Especially with [A] love from someone like [C] Newfoundland.
[Em] Welcome to the Rock!
_ [D] [Em] That classroom, it's our first day back [D] and the school [Em] buses are on strike,
[D] so I'm covering for Annette [C] who's running late.
Sorry, Beulah.
[D] How's the kids?
Not [Em] exactly thrilled to be inside [D] on such a gorgeous [C] day.
So I told them we'd only have a half day this morning and they were quite pleased,
until I told [D] them we'd have the other half in the afternoon.
_ [E] Welcome to the wildest weather that you've ever [D] heard of.
Where everyone [C] is nicer, but it's never nice above.
Welcome to the farthest place you'll get from [F#m] Disneyland.
Fish and chips [A] and shipwrecks.
To see [C] Snoop and Lan.
[Em] Welcome to the Rock!
An Islander!
I am [D] an Islander!
I'm an Islander!
I am [C] an Islander!
I'm an Islander!
I am [D] an Islander!
I'm an Islander!
I am [Em] an Islander!
That [Am] morning I'm [D] in my car.
[Em] The kids cross airport [D] boulevard to get to school,
[C] and that time of day [D] people are in a little bit of a [C] rush to get to work and stuff.
[D] So normally I [Em] sit there and run my radar.
[D] Woof!
Woof!
[C] And if they're speeding, I'll stop them and write out a warning ticket.
I'll write STFD.
[Am] [Bm] Slow the [C] fuck down.
[D] _ [Em] Welcome to the land where the winter's tried to [D] kill us and we said,
We will [C] not be killed.
Welcome to the land where the water's tried to [D] drown us and we said,
We will [Em] not be drowned.
Welcome to the man where we lost our [D] loved ones and we said,
[C] We will still go on.
Welcome to the land where the wind's tried to [D] blow.
And we [F#m] said, no!
That morning [A] I drop my [B] kids off at school [F#m] and head to the SPCA [D] where I'm greeted [Em] by my [F#m] other kids,
all [A] barking and [B] meowing for [D] breakfast and a belly rub.
[E] Not that I'm complaining, I loves [G] them.
But by the time [C] feeding is done, [D] I got to get back [Em] to pick up my human kids,
[D] so I take just one [C] second for myself and I'm sitting in my car.
I'm in the library.
I'm in the staff room.
[D] And I turn on the radio.
[Em] You are here [D] at the start of a moment [C] on the edge of the world [D] where the river meets the [Em] sea.
Here [D] on the edge of the Atlantic [C] on an island in [D] between heaven [C] and [D] here. _
[Em] I'm running my radar when Bonnie comes by.
[D] She pulls up and she is waving at me like Max.
[C] So I roll down my window and she says,
Oz, turn on the [D] radio.
Slow it down.
Turn on your [F#m] radio.
[Em] It's my first day at the station.
[D] I'm getting coffee for the picket line.
[E] Five minutes to my smoke break.
I'm off to work at the [F#m] airport.
Welcome to the path.
Welcome to the [E] trees, to the ocean and the sky and whatever's in [D] between.
Through the ones who've left, you never truly [E] got.
My candle's in the window and the candle's always [F#m] on.
When the sun is coming up and the world is coming [E] short.
If you're hoping for a harbor, then you'll find an open [D] door.
In the winter from the water, through whatever's in the [E] way,
through the ones who have come from away.
