[G] [C]
Weeds are growing on the bottom [F] of my boat upon the shore, [C] and my nets are getting rotten.
[G] Lying in the store, [C] or sit out on my stage sheet, [F] and I watch the waves roll in.
[C] I'm thinking about tomorrow, [G] but my mind is [C] way back when.
[G] When the cod were on a doorstep [F] and you worked the [C] whole day through,
[G] hauling traps and making [F] fish with a good and [C] hearty crew, [G] lighting lamps [C] to see it through.
Now the days are gone forever, [F] they'll never come no [C] more, cause they dragged up the bottom.
[G] All along our shore, [C] and the ocean now is barren, [F] like a rock upon the stream.
[C] Oh how we raped and [G] plundered this island [C] newfound land.
[G] Five hundred years [F] on this rock [C] in the sea,
[G] earned a meager living, [F] and we're proud [C] to be free.
But now there's regulation [F] made for you and me, [C] by someone up in Ottawa [G] who thinks he [C] owns the sea.
[G] [C] Now they sent out their [F] scientists with all their fancy gear, [C] and they came back and told us [G] the cod had gone from here.
[C] Oh we'll have to close the fish plants, [F] stocks are way too low.
If [C] you cannot get the package buys [G] you'll have to take [C] the dole, [G] or pack your [C] bags and go.
Weeds are growing on the bottom [F] of my boat upon the shore, [C] and my nets are getting rotten, [G] lying in the store.
[C] Oh I set out on my stage head, [F] and I watched away from him.
[C] I'm thinking about tomorrow, [G] but my mind is [C] way back when.
Yes I'm thinking about tomorrow, [G] but my mind's [C] way back when.
