Вступление
[Intro]
A D
[Verse 1]
D
Many years have gone by
A
since I left my Fortune Bay home,
A
Full of dreams and ambitions,
D
as a young man I wanted to roam;
D
But now things are different,
G
I'm older and wiser, I guess,
A
And I'd love to return to that
A7 D
homeland that I love the best.
[Verse 2]
D
My friends and relations,
A
I miss them more every day,
A
And in dreams I go back to my
D
childhood down in old Fortune Bay;
D
I see a picture of Iron Skull,
G
and it brings a tear to my eye,
A
For I know, she stands guard o'er
A7 D
the birthplace of this Newfie boy.
[Chorus]
G
And I leave Bishops Falls,
D
head down that Bay D'Espoir Road,
D
There's a lump in my throat, son,
A
'cause I know that I'm headin' home;
D
And when I reach St Jacques,
G
I know everything is all right,
A
I got two miles to go and
D
I'll be in Belleoram tonight.
[Riff]
A D
{Verse 3]
D
That old Fishermen's Lodge
A
is now a modern day home,
A
The roads, they are paved, and
D
them old fishing schooners are gone;
D
That old church looks the same
G
as it did when I sang in the choir,
A
The Orange Lodge gave its music to
A7 D
the lounge on the government wharf.
[Verse 4]
D
The dories made way for
A
the faster and modern speed boat,
A
As you walk around town, you'll
D
not see a sheep, cow, or goat;
D
The steamers don't call here,
G
they are a thing of the past,
A
Now, it's phoned-home visits,
A7 D
my... things are changing so fast.
[Verse 5]
D
My memories may fail me, but
G
I feel like a king when I say,
A
I'm a proud Newfoundlander from Belleoram,
D
down in old Fortune Bay.
[Chorus]
G
And I leave Bishops Falls,
D
head down that Bay D'Espoir Road,
D
There's a lump in my throat, son,
A
'cause I know that I'm headin' home;
D
And when I reach St Jacques,
G
I know everything is all right,
A
I got two miles to go and
D
I'll be in Belleoram tonight.
[Outro]
A
Just two miles to go and
D
I'll be in Belleoram tonight.
