[Verse 1]
G+G
You could shoot off a cannon
G+G C majorC G+G
Down the middle of bond
C majorC G+G E minorEm D MajorD
And attract no attention in downtown st. john's
G+G C majorC G+G
This getting nowhere is getting to me
C majorC G+G
Wondering where can you go
C majorC G+G
To be all you can be
[Verse 2]
G+G C majorC G+G
No regular joe wants to Haul up and go
C majorC G+G
And wind up homesick
G+G E minorEm D MajorD
Where there's no one you know
G+G
Just a smoke and a beer
G+G C majorC G+G
And the sports on tv
G+G C majorC G+G
Feelin’ sorry you left
G+G C majorC G+G
With no choice but to leave
[Chorus]
C majorC G+G
No change in the weather
C majorC G+G
No change in me
C majorC G+G
I don't want to leave
G+G E minorEm D MajorD
But you can't live for free
G+G C majorC
Can't eat the air, can't drink the sea
C majorC G+G
No change in the weather
E minorEm D MajorD G+G
No change in me

[Verse 3]
G+G
You could shoot off a cannon
G+G C majorC G+G
From the top of long's hill
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
And a gulliver's taxi might be all you'd kill
G+G
We were promised the sun
G+G C majorC G+G
And the moon and the stars
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
We got weathered old clapboard and salt-rusted cars
[Verse 4]
G+G C majorC G+G
So let me join in the leaving, with all of the rest
G+G C majorC G+G E minorEm D MajorD
For Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver west
G+G
Lay down on a sidewalk
C majorC G+G
and Kick off and die
G+G C majorC G+G
watchin’ people not lookin'
D MajorD G+G
As they hurry by
