Stans Tune chords by Bruce Guthro

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

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

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

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

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

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