_ [C] Late _ [G] spring, _ [Am] leaves are [F] all green, [C] and there's sheep [A] on the hillside, [Dm] and birds [G] all the wind.
_ _ _ _ _ [F]
Over [Em] my shoulder, the [F] last time [C] I've seen, _ [G] the old home [F] all withered [C] and grey.
[G] _ _ [C] We talked [G] to the _ father [F] and me, [C] and the fiddle [Am] too slow, like [Dm] the clear [G] ivory, and the mouse.
_ _ [F] Never [Em] forget who [F] you are, [C] sons, and he [G] hasn't followed my brothers [C] _ away. _ _
Now [Am] I'm heading for Halifax, to see what's to spare, [G] in the way of some more bill,
and if there's nothing there, it's [B] Toronto, howl, rest, [Em] you've got [Am] only no flair,
but [F] there's bound [C] to be friends [G] from back home. _ _
_ [C] One living [G] thing I have, _ [D] wherever I [F] go, my [G] heart's in [A] Cape Breton, [Dm] it will always [G] be so.
_ _ _ _ [F] Wherever [Em] a fiddle _ [D] _
rises [C] to the bow, [G] my first and [F] last thoughts [C] are for home.
