Chords with lyrics

[Intro]

G+G B minorBm E minorEm D MajorD


[Verse]

G+G
Fishing on the prairies after the fish has gone
C majorC                 D MajorD   G+G
Don’t care for the weather, longs for the fog
          B minorBm      E minorEm        G+G
Dreams of boy hood days hauling traps and setting trawls
 C majorC       A minorAm      D MajorD         G+G
Headed out the bay each day spring time to the fall

[Chorus]

     C majorC       G+G     D MajorD        E minorEm
Catching fish was never easy, hard work for boy and man
      C majorC        G+G          D MajorD      G+G
Where the wind is warm and breezy, when its blowing off the land
   C majorC         G+G       D MajorD         E minorEm
Its hard to leave the island, for a place that he cant stand
    C majorC       G+G       D MajorD      G+G     D MajorD E minorEm D MajorD
And a part of him is dying, pulling oil from the sand


[Verse]

 G+G
People say don’t worry, cuz he can have it all
   C majorC                 D MajorD    G+G
In a place like fort mcmurry, or fort Saskatchewan
          B minorBm     E minorEm        G+G
But in his mind he lingers, and in his heart hes there
  C majorC       A minorAm       D MajorD      G+G
Out in the skiff, with his dad, far away from here


[Chorus]

     C majorC       G+G     D MajorD        E minorEm
Catching fish was never easy, hard work for boy and man
     C majorC         G+G        D MajorD        G+G
Where the wind is warm and breezy, when its blowing off the land
   C majorC         G+G       D MajorD         E minorEm
Its hard to leave the island, for a place that he cant stand
    C majorC       G+G       D MajorD    G+G   D MajorD E minorEm D MajorD
And a part of him is dying, pulling oil from the sand

[Verse]

   G+G
Now each day he looks across, and the sky is everywhere
    C majorC                       D MajorD   G+G
And at night he looks up at the starts, the nights are oh so clear

   G+G         D MajorD        E minorEm       G+G
It reminds him of the ocean, though its far away from here
    C majorC      A minorAm     D MajorD           G+G
It will never ever leave him, one day he’ll go back there


[Chorus]

     C majorC       G+G     D MajorD        E minorEm
Catching fish was never easy, hard work for boy and man
     C majorC         G+G        D MajorD        G+G
Where the wind is warm and breezy, when its blowing off the land
   C majorC         G+G      D MajorD         E minorEm
Its hard to leave the island, for a place that he cant stand
    C majorC       G+G       D MajorD     G+G    D MajorD E minorEm D MajorD G+G
