{c:Intro}
[/] [F] [Em] [/] [C] [/] [F] [Em] [/] [C] [/]

[/] [C] [/] [G] [/] [Am] [/] [F] [/]
[/] [C] [/] [C] [/] [G7] [/] [C] [/]


Just to [/] [C] wake up in the [/] [G] morning to the [/] [Am] quiet of the [/] [F] cove
And [/] [C] hear Aunt Bessie [/] [G7] talking to her- [/] [C] self [/] [C]
And to [/] [C] hear poor Uncle [/] [G] John mumbling [/] [Am] wishes to old [/] [F] Nell
It [/] [C] made me feel like [/] [G7] everything was [/] [C] fine. [/] [C]


{soc}
I was [/] [G] born down by the [/] [Am] water and [/] [F] here I’m goin’ to [/] [C] stay
I’ve [/] [G] searched for all the [/] [Am] reasons why [/] [F] I should go a- [/] [C] way
But I [/] [C] haven’t got the [/] [G] thirst for all those [/] [Am] modern day [/] [F] toys
So [/] [C] I’ll just take my [/] [C] chances with those [/] [G] saltwater [/] [C] joys.
[/] [F] [Em] [/] [C] [/] [F] [Em] [/] [C] [/]
{eoc}


[/] [C] Following a little [/] [G] brook as it [/] [Am] trickles to the [/] [F] shore
In the [/] [C] Autumn when the [/] [G7] trees are flaming [/] [C] red [/] [C]
Kicking [/] [C] leaves that fall a- [/] [G] round me, watching [/] [Am] sunset paint the [/] [F] hills,
‘Tis [/] [C] all I’ll ever [/] [G7] need to feel at [/] [C] home [/] [C]


{soc}
This [/] [G] island that we [/] [Am] cling to, has been [/] [F] handed down with [/] [C] pride
By [/] [G] folks who fought to [/] [Am] live here, taking [/] [F] hardships all in [/] [C] stride.
So I’ll [/] [C] compliment her [/] [G] beauty hold [/] [Am] on to my good- [/] [F] byes.
And I’ll [/] [C] stay and take my [/] [C] chances with those [/] [G7] saltwater [/] [C] joys.
[/] [F] [Em] [/] [C] [/] [F] [Em] [/] [C]
{eoc}


How [/] [C] can I leave those [/] [G] mornings with the [/] [Am] sunrise on the [/] [F] cove
And the [/] [C] gulls like flies sur- [/] [G7] rounding Clayton’s [/] [C] wharf? [/] [C]
Platters [/] [C] Island wrapped in [/] [G] rainbow in the [/] [Am] evening after [/] [F] fog
The [/] [C] ocean smells are [/] [G7] perfume to my [/] [C] soul. [/] [C]


{soc}
Some [/] [G] go to where the [/] [Am] buildings [/] [F] reach to meet the [/] [C] clouds
Where [/] [G] warm and gentle  [/] [Am] people turn to [/] [F] swarming faceless [/] [C] crowds
So I’ll [/] [C] do without the [/] [G] riches, the [/] [Am] glamour and the [/] [F] noise
And I’ll [/] [C] stay and take my [/] chances with those [/] [G7] saltwater [/] [C] joys. [/] [C]


Some [/] [G] go to where the [/] [Am] buildings [/] [F] reach to meet the [/] [C] clouds
Where [/] [G] warm and gentle [/] [Am] people turn to [/] [F] swarming faceless [/] [C] crowds
So I’ll [/] [C] do without the [/] [G] riches, the [/] [Am] glamour and the [/] [F] noise
And I’ll [/] [C] stay and take my [/] chances with those [/] [G7] saltwater [/] [C] joys. [/] [C]


[/] [G] [/] [Am] [/] [F] [/] [C] [/]
[/] [C] [/] [C] [/] [G7] [/] [C] [/] [C!]
