Verse:
G+G D MajorD
There's a winding road that leads to Cape St Marys,
G+G
On the Cape Shore, and sometimes I often dream,
D MajorD
Of a one-room school where we all went together,
FF A augmentedA
There were forty classmates, one a beauty queen.
D MajorD G+G G+G D MajorD
The one I'm speaking of her name was Mary,
G+G
I remember my last year when school did close;
D MajorD
She's much prettier and just a little older,
A augmentedA D MajorD
To me she'll always be our Cape Shore Rose.
Chorus:

Mary's gone to heaven,
D MajorD
there is no need to weep,
G+G
God touched her with His hand,
D MajorD A augmentedA
she closed her eyes and went to sleep;
D MajorD G+G
So, goodbye Cape Shore Rose,
D MajorD
you're with God's angel,
It won't matter now how
G+G
strong the north winds blow;
The daisies they were spread
D MajorD
along the Cape Shore,
A augmentedA
To remind us all of you,
D MajorD
our Cape Shore Rose.

Verse 2:
As the saying goes,
G+G D MajorD
your home is where your heart is,
Throughout the Cape Shore here

and the valleys 'neath the sky;
One night I dreamed

I thought I heard her whisper,
FF A augmentedA
"God set my soul at liberty to fly."
Bridge:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
She left this world in peace, her journey's over,

And from now on there'll be no future woe;

Mary is a flower we'll all remember,
G+G D MajorD
But Mary'll always be our Cape Shore Rose.

along the Cape Shore,

To remind us all of you,
D MajorD
our Cape Shore Rose.
A augmentedA D MajorD
Mary Manning Power is still our Cape Shore Rose.
