Chords for Peggy's Cove Disaster (Eddie Coffey)

_ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _
[G] _ _ [C] _ _ _
On the first day of [G] September, and the second day [C] drew near,
_ On a flight bound to [G] Geneva, never knowing [C] any fear,
_ [F] As they waved to all their loved ones, [C] to the terminal they drove,
Never knowing what [G] would happen off the shore of [C] Peggy's Cove.
_ [F] A little place in old Wisconsin, where [C] they say they'll fish no more,
[F] But there's wreckage, bits and pieces, [C] lying on the [G] ocean floor.
_ [C] And in my [F] mind there are no [C] doubts, the amount these [F] people drove,
[C] One time to Nova Scotia, [G] just to visit [C] Peggy's Cove.

The pilot [G] signaled past three times, I'm sure he must [C] have prayed,
_ A captain has to live [G] with fear, but not to be [C] afraid. _
_ [F] All the passengers and [C] crew, may God have mercy on their souls,
In the [G] cold Canadian waters, off the shores of [C] Peggy's Cove.
_ [F] A little place in old Wisconsin, where [C] they say they'll fish no more,
[F] But there's wreckage, bits and pieces, [C] lying on the [G] ocean floor.
_ [C] And in my [F] mind there are no [C] doubts, the amount these [F] people drove,
[C] One time to Nova Scotia, [G] just to visit [C] Peggy's Cove.
