Ballad Of Bowser Macrae chords by David Francey

Bb  Gm   D

D                  G
I was born in Cape Breton
D           A
Born by the sea
A      D
By the Seal Island bridge
   D
In sweet Boularderie
D              G
An by age seventeen
          D           A
There was nothing for me
     D
So I headed for Thorold
         A       D
Washed up on the beach

D                 G
An I slept in the Jungle
     D             A
Lived hard, took a fall
A     D             G
'Til I found myself standing
  A       D
At the SIU hall
D
And with nothing to stay for
            A
No kids and no wife
D                A
I signed on that morning
                 D
For the rest of my life

   A
My back it was strong
        D               A
And that strength never failed
  D            G
Up the Detroit River
       A          D
On the Ferndale I sailed

G D A     D G D
             G
And now I am married
       D      A
To the woman I love
       D
She's a gift I was given
      G       D
From Heaven above
                 G
And I call every morning
                 A
And I call every night
          D      G
She's all I ever wanted
   A           D
The love of my life

     A
And now in the evening
        D          A
When we talk on the phone
        Fm         G
She says I love you Daddy
      A              D
When you coming back home

B A G B D A B E D B D E D A

D               G
Tonight down the line
  D            A
I heard my boy say
Dm  D      G
Daddy I miss you
A     D
More every day
   C      G
But when I hear your voice
     D        A        Em
Then I feel alright
Bm        D        G
He says I love you Daddy
Bm            D
Good luck and good night

    Em
And now in the evening
G        D          E
When we talk on the phone
A       D         G
He says I love you Daddy
         A          D
When you coming back home


D                  G
I was born in Cape Breton
D           A
Born by the sea
   E        D      G
By the Seal Island bridge
        A      D
In sweet Boularderie
