Dave Gunning - Prince Of Pictou
INTRO:
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC E minorEm D MajorD C majorC G+G A minorAm C majorC D MajorD
G+G C majorC D MajorD
By the lights of Pictou Harbour
G+G C majorC D MajorD
A augmentedA lonely prince stands on the shore
G+G C majorC D MajorD
Left behind across the ocean
G+G C majorC D MajorD
To hide the ways of George the IV
G+G C majorC D MajorD
A augmentedA lantern flickers in the hallway
G+G C majorC D MajorD
A augmentedA clock burns time from afar
G+G C majorC D MajorD
Dressed to kill but dying fast inside
G+G C majorC D MajorD
He makes his way down to the bar
G+G C majorC D MajorD
He tells the story of his old life
G+G C majorC D MajorD
To a wall of disbelief
G+G C majorC D MajorD
He buys a drink for the girls of Creighton Street
G+G C majorC
And spends the fortune of a King
CHORUS:
E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
There are diamonds buried in these waters
G+G C majorC D MajorD
There is gold hidden in the hills
E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
There are secrets that lie beneath the surface
B minorBm A minorAm D9D9 E minorEm
Of an unwelcome son, a forgotten Prince
INSTRUMENTAL:
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC D MajorD ? D MajorD
G+G C majorC D MajorD
He sits in darkness at the tavern
G+G C majorC
And counts the years away from home
D MajorD B minorBm C majorC D MajorD
He lifts his glass, makes a toast from his worn out barroom chair
G+G C majorC D MajorD
"Here's to life upon the throne"
BRIDGE:
G+G
Here's a toast to my father
A minorAm G+G
I wonder, does he ever drink to me?
Bb majorBb A minorAm
I wonder, does he ever think of me?
INSTRUMENTAL:
D MajorD G+G C majorC D MajorD
The cold of January took him
G+G C majorC D MajorD
At the age of thirty-three
B minorBm C majorC D MajorD
They carried him up to the top of Laurel Hill
G+G C majorC D MajorD
To let him rest among the trees
G+G C majorC D MajorD
And all the politicians gathered
G+G C majorC
To pay the mystery man his due
D MajorD G+G C majorC D MajorD
And although they'd never said "Hello", they've come to say goodbye
G+G C majorC D MajorD
Just in case the story's true
CHORUS:
E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
There are diamonds buried in these waters
G+G C majorC D MajorD
There is gold hidden in the hills
E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
There are secrets that lie beneath the surface
B minorBm A minorAm D9D9 E minorEm
