[D] [A]
[D]
I was born under a star, [A] never meant to journey [Bm] far [G] from all the [D] faces and the place that I called [A] home.
[D] And my father lived the same, [F#m] and his father before [Bm] him, [G] but now I [D] see [G] in my son's [D] eyes something has [A] changed.
And [Bm] the smoke it has [F#m] stopped rising from [G] the chimney up [D] the road, and the light no longer [A] shines [D] over [G] the door.
[Bm] Last year I lent [F#m] a hand, the [G] hollow bolts [Em] onto the land.
[D] They've been lying there for [A] nineteen months [G] or more,
[D] and I wonder will [A] they lie there [D] evermore.
Wasn't many years ago [A] that the men round here would [G] go out in their [D] skiffs [G] and haul [D] their traps out on [A] the bay.
[D] And then shortly they'd return, [A] loaded down from stem [Bm] to stern, [G] and weigh [D] off [G] the fish, [D] then store the gear [A] away.
[Bm] Now the waters are [F#m] as barren [G] as the cliffs that guard [D] the cove, and catch the morton [A] wind blowing [G] off the shore.
[Bm] And I wonder how [F#m] an ocean [G] turns as lifeless as [Em] a stone, [D] and I wonder can [A] the sea [G] revive once more.
[D] And I wonder will [A] they lie there [D]
evermore.

Well I hear [A] some [D] people say [A] we'd be better off [Bm] to stay [G] ashore [D] and train for [G] jobs [D] outside the [A] fishery.
Now [D] wouldn't I look like [A] [D] a fool to [A] go traipsing off to [Bm] school [G] after [D] forty [G] years [D] of living off [A] the sea.
Now [Bm] my son is [F#m] barely twenty one [G] and handy at [D] the draw.
For years he helped me [A] fish the [G] Labrador.
[Bm] Now he's moved to [F#m]
Ontario [G] before the first [Em]
snowfall.
[D] Dad there's nothing left [A] for me round here [G] no more.
[D] And I wonder will [A] I see his [Bm] children more.
[G] [D] And I wonder will they [A] lie there [D]
