[A]
I was born under the stars, [E] never meant [F#m] to journey far from [A] all the places and the place that [E] I call home.
[A] And my father lived the same, [E] and my father [F#m] before him, but now I see in [A] my son's eyes [E] something has changed.
[F#m] Now the smoking [E] has stopped rising [D] from the chimney [A] up the [E] road, and the light no longer shines [F#m] over the door.
[A] Last year [E] I lent a hand [D] to haul the boats [E] onto the land.
[A] They've been lying [E] there for nineteen [F#m] months or more, [A] and I wonder [E] will they lie there [A] ever.
Wasn't many years ago, [E] strapping men around [F#m] here would go out [A] in baskets and haul their traps out [E] on the sea.
And then [A] shortly they'd return, [E] loaded down with [F#m] sand and sterns, and [A] weigh off their fish and store their [E] gear away.
[F#] Now the waters [E] are as barren [D] as the cliffs that [A] guard the coast, and catch the north [E] wind blowing [F#m] off the shore.
[A] And I wonder how [E] the ocean [D] turns its life beside [E] its stone, [A] and I wonder [E] can the sea [F#m] revive once more.
[A] And I wonder [E] will they lie there [A] ever more.
Well I hear some people say [E] we'd be better [F#m] off to stay ashore [A] and train for jobs outside the [E] fishery.
[A] Now wouldn't I look like a fool [E] to go traipsing [F#m] off the school after [A] forty years of living [E] off the sea.
Now [F#m] my son is [E] thirty twenty one [D] and handy at [A] the trawl.
For [E] years he helped me face the [F#m] Labrador.
Now [A] he's moving to [E] Ontario [D] before the first [A] snowfall.
Dad there's nothing left [E] for me round here [F#m] no more.
[A] And I wonder will [E] I see his [F#m] children more.
[A] And I wonder will [E] they lie there ever more.
