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

Chorus:
G
Mary's gone to heaven,
       D
there is no need to weep,
    G
God touched her with His hand,
    D                          A
she closed her eyes and went to sleep;
D                G
So, goodbye Cape Shore Rose,
                    D
you're with God's angel,

It won't matter now how
                       G
strong the north winds blow;

The daisies they were spread
             D
along the Cape Shore,
             A
To remind us all of you,
               D
our Cape Shore Rose.

Verse 2:

As the saying goes,
      G      D

your home is where your heart is,

Throughout the Cape Shore here
                                G
and the valleys 'neath the sky;

One night I dreamed
            D
I thought I heard her whisper,
      F                        A
"God set my soul at liberty to fly."


Bridge:

    D                 G                    D
She left this world in peace, her journey's over,
                                      G
And from now on there'll be no future woe;
                                D
Mary is a flower we'll all remember,
    G                             D
But Mary'll always be our Cape Shore Rose.


Chorus:

G
Mary's gone to heaven,
       D
there is no need to weep,
    G
God touched her with His hand,
    D                          A
she closed her eyes and went to sleep;
D                G
So, goodbye Cape Shore Rose,
                    D
you're with God's angel,

It won't matter now how
                       G
strong the north winds blow;

The daisies they were spread
             D
along the Cape Shore,
             A
To remind us all of you,
               D
our Cape Shore Rose.


     A                                    D
Mary Manning Power is still our Cape Shore Rose.
