Stans Tune chords by Bruce Guthro

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

A minorAm
The sea’s a little darker
E minorEm
In Make’n’break harbour
DmDm            E minorEm       G+G
The wind blows cold with fewer sails to fill
A minorAm               E minorEm
No longer does the train go by your nova Scotian home
DmDm
Foreign ships still rape our coast
E minorEm              G+G
While our fishing boats lie still

A minorAm                  E minorEm
We sift through broken promises and unemployment lines
DmDm               E minorEm
See our children move away and call from time to time
A minorAm                      E minorEm
The songs that you have left for us they grow truer by the day
DmDm          E minorEm      A minorAm
it’s almost like you never went away

     C majorC           G+G
But I feel a storm building blowing cross the plains
D MajorD                     E minorEm     G+G
Driven hard by an eastward wind like it’s coming home again
A minorAm          G+G
Carrying a giant I hear you laughing now
    E minorEm                     E minorEm
As you pound your fist for the rain to fall on the fields behind the plough

A minorAm                           E minorEm
And the waves crash up against privateers wharf And the hand of Franklin charts the course
    E minorEm                       E minorEm         A minorAm
With a crash of thunder through the cold hard rain, we see the giant rise again

C majorC                   G+G
Your music still fills our veins puts fire in our blood
DmDm                     E minorEm
It’s stood the test of time and change and helped us rise above
A minorAm                    E minorEm
And the songs that you have left for us grow truer by the day
DmDm          E minorEm    A minorAm
It’s almost like you never went away
