Ron Hynes - Cape Spear
INTRO: C majorC E minorEm FF ~ DmDm G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
E minorEm FF ~ DmDm
Me and Margaret grew up on the Southside
G+G E minorEm D MajorD A augmentedA DmDm
Our house was two doors down
G+G FF E minorEm
Across the bay, the city lay a stone's throw away
DmDm G+G
Though we weren't wanted over there in town
C majorC E minorEm FF ~
When the summer turned, we'd hike the dusty highway
DmDm G+G E minorEm D MajorD A augmentedA
Out to where the sun would split the rocks, I swear
DmDm G+G FF E minorEm
Stand with our backs to the ocean spray
DmDm G+G
Playing dangerous games of courage or dare
CHORUS:
C majorC E minorEm
Cape Spear, Cape Spear
FF E minorEm DmDm G+G
These would be moments we would savour
C majorC E minorEm
Cape Spear, at Cape Spear
FF E minorEm DmDm G+G FF E minorEm DmDm G+G C majorC
Time is but a face upon the wa-wa-wa-water
E minorEm FF DmDm
Standing here, I still recall the morning
G+G E minorEm D MajorD A augmentedA DmDm
We awoke, Margaret was gone
G+G FF E minorEm DmDm
She hadn't run away, she wasn't taken by a wave, no, no, no
G+G C majorC
It's not that kind of song
E minorEm FF ~
There's enough of sad stories passed on down
DmDm G+G E minorEm D MajorD A augmentedA
Where old men weep and fishers' widows wail
DmDm G+G FF E minorEm
But Margaret and her maiden aunt only went to town
DmDm G+G
Tides turn, the world turns 'round
CHORUS:
C majorC E minorEm
Cape Spear, at Cape Spear
FF E minorEm DmDm G+G
Still I ply the dusty highway, year on year
C majorC E minorEm
Out to Cape Spear, out to Cape Spear
FF E minorEm DmDm
Time is but a face upon the water
FF E minorEm DmDm G+G FF E minorEm DmDm G+G FF C majorC DmDm G+G C majorC
Time is but a face upon the wa-wa-wa-water
E minorEm FF ~ DmDm
These eyes hardly recognize the Southside
G+G E minorEm D MajorD A augmentedA DmDm
Margaret's house is gone, so is mine
G+G FF E minorEm
From where I'd watch the city glow, there's a seafood bistro
DmDm G+G
And Margaret's house is a school of hair design
C majorC E minorEm FF ~ DmDm
I say let the winds rush, let the waves wash away
G+G E minorEm D MajorD A augmentedA
One's bound to get ya one fine day
DmDm G+G E minorEm
For we are all only dreaming, I swear
DmDm G+G
Playing dangerous games of courage or dare
CHORUS:
C majorC E minorEm
Playing at Cape Spear, at Cape Spear
FF E minorEm DmDm G+G
These would be moments we would savour
C majorC E minorEm
Cape Spear, Cape Spear
FF E minorEm DmDm G+G
We plied the dusty highway year on year
FF E minorEm
Out to Cape Spear, to Cape Spear
FF E minorEm DmDm G+G
Time is but a face upon the water
FF E minorEm DmDm G+G FF E minorEm DmDm G+G FF C majorC DmDm G+G C majorC
Time is but a face upon the wa-wa-wa-water
