[Em] On the northeast tip of North [G] America, 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] Canberra.
Welcome to the [G#] Rock if you come from [D] away.
You probably [G] understand about a half of what
we [C] say.
They say no man's an [C#] island, but an island makes [F#m] a man.
Especially when [A] one comes
from one like [C] Newfoundland.
[Em] Welcome to the Rock!
That classroom, it's our first day back and the school buses are on strike, [D] so I'm covering
for Annette [C] who's running late.
Sorry, Beulah.
[D] How's the kids?
Not exactly [C] 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 [A] wildest weather that you've ever [D] heard of.
Where everyone is [G] nicer, but it's never nice [C] above.
Welcome to the [G] farthest place you'll get from [F#m] Disneyland.
Fish and chips [A] and shipwrecks.
This is [C] Newfoundland.
[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 morning I'm in my car.
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] Slow to fuck down.
_ [Em] Welcome to the land where the winter's trying to [D] kill us and we said,
We will [C] not be killed.
Welcome to the land where the water's trying to [D] drown us and we said,
We will [Em] not be drowned.
Welcome to the land where we lost our [D] loved ones and we said,
[E] We will still [C] go on.
Welcome to the land where the wind's trying to [D] blow.
And we [F#m] said, no!
That morning [A] I drop my kids off at school [F#m] and head to the SPCA where [D] I'm greeted by
my [F#m] other kids all barking [A] and 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, 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 [G] and [D] fear. _
[Em] I'm running my radar when Bonnie comes by.
[D] She pulls up and she is waving at me like mad.
[C] So I rolled out my window and she says,
Oz, turn on the [D] radio.
Slow it down.
Jesus H.
Oz, turn on your [F#m] radio.
[G#] Where our story starts.
It's my first day at the [B] station.
[F#] Where we'll end the night.
I'm getting [A] coffee for the bigot line.
Where we know my [E] heart.
Five minutes till my smoke break.
Every single flight.
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.
To the ones who've left.
You're never truly [E] gone.
A candle's in the window and the candle's always [F#] 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.
To the ones who have come all the way.
