[G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Just to wake up in [G] the morning _ [A] to the quiet of [F] the cold
[C] And hear Aunt [G] Bessie talking [C] to herself _ _ And _ _ to hear poor Uncle [G] John _ _ [Am] mumbling wishes
to [F] O'Neil _ [C] It made me [G] feel like everything _ [C] was fine _ _
I _ [G] was born down [Am] by the water [F] It's here I'm gonna [C]
stay
_ [G] I've searched for [Am] all the reasons [F] why I should [C] go _ away
But I haven't got [G] the thirst [Am] for all those modern [F] day toys
[C] So I'll just take my chances with [G] those _ _ [C] saltwater joys _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ Following a [G] little _ brook [A] as it trickles to [F] the shore
_ [C] In the autumn when [G] the trees are flaming [C] red _ _ _ _
_ Kicking leaves that fall [G] around me [Am] Watching sunsets paint [F] the hills
_ [C] It's all I'll [G] ever need to [C] feel at home _ _ _ _
[G] This island [Am] that we cling to [F] has been handed down [C] with pride
_ [G] By folks who fought [Am] to live here [F] Taking our choose, [C] our own strides
So I'll compliment [G] her beauty, _ [Am] hold on to my [F] _ _
goodbyes
And [C] I'll stay and take my chances with [G] those _ saltwater [C] joys
_ _ [F] How [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ can I leave [G] those mornings with [Am] the sunrise on [F] the cove
[C] And the gulls like flies [G] _
surrounding [C] Clayton's Wharf _ _ _ _
_ Platter's Island wrapped in [G] rainbow In [Am] the evening after [F] fog
_ [C] The ocean smells [G] our perfume through [C] my soul _ _
Some [G] _ go to where [A] the _ buildings [F] breeze [G] to meet the clouds
_ Where warm and gentle [F] _
people turn to swarm and [C] faceless crowds
[Dm] So [C] I'll do without [G] their riches, _ [Am] _ glamour and [F] the noise
And [C] I'll stay and take my chances with [G] those _ _ [C] saltwater _ _ joys
_ _ [G] Some go to where [Am] the buildings _ [F] _
breeze to [C] meet the clouds
[G] Where warm and [Am] gentle people turn [F] to swarm and [C] faceless crowds
So I'll do without [G] their riches, [D] _ [Am] _
glamour [F] and the noise
And [C] I'll stay and take my chances with [G] those _ [C] saltwater joys _ _ _
