[D]
[A] [D]
I've been dreaming of the seashore
[G]
And dad's old fishing skids
[D]
I've even had a thought or two
Of those old [A] rocky cliffs
[D] But the thing that nips my mind the most
[G] And gives my heart a shock
Is [D] how much better it would be up here
[A] With a piece [D] of the rock
[G] If the lights of Braddon shone on [D]
Daniel's Harbor
And Toronto town was really [A]
paradise
[D] If the exploits waters churned through [G] old Port Hardy
[D] And our eastern [A] sun it rose on [D] Yellow 9
If [G] St.
Anthony's charms were present up [D] in Sudbury
Or if Thompson's mines were part of [A]
Carbonear
[D] There'd be no need to roam
[G] Everyone would be at home
If [D] we only had [A] old Newfoundland [D] up here
[A] [D]
There'd be lots of boats and fishing things
[G] That mean so much to me
[D] With lots of kitchen parties
From Red Deer to [A] Lassie
And [D] all the boys would stop and take a stop
[G] Of the pretty girls everywhere
[D] There'd be nothing wrong with up along
If [A] we had the rock [D] up here
And all our sandy rocky beaches
[G] They'd sure beat those oil sands
[D] No need to wipe the prairies
When we could stroll up on [A] the Strand
The [D] Chinooks down from the mountain
[G] As the sun burns off the mist
[D] There'd be no other place like here
[A] If the rock was part [D] of this
[G] If Calgary looked down on St.
[D] John's Harbor
And Edmonton was down in [A]
Gandervay
[D] If the umber waters flowed through old [G] Grand Prairie
And [D] Deer Lake was in [A] our reach from day [D] to day
If [G] church bells and badger rang in old [D]
Lloydminster
Or McMurray graced the hills of [A]
Biddespare
[D] There'd be no need to roam
[G] Everyone would be at home
If we [D]
only had [A] old Newfoundland up [D]
here
No, there'd be no need to roam
[G] Everyone would be at home
