Вступление
[Intro]
F C G C
[Verse 1]
C F C
Time was that us Cornishmen we’re always underground
F C G
Our techniques and technologies they all were world renowned
C F C
Now we live in poverty in hardship and in strife
F C G C
And the world has come a calling to give us a better life
[Verse 2]
C F C
Each day another boat leaves loaded up with cousin jacks
F C G
With a sense of great adventure and the wind upon our backs
C F C
We’ll cast of from the harbour we’ll sail across the sound
F C G C
To find a new life overseas to find it underground
[Chorus]
F C Am
So close down the engine house and shut the tin mine gates
F C G
Leave your picks and shovels at the door
F C Am
Cos when the the wheels they stop turning the Davey lamp stops burning
C G C
It’s time to leave the sacred shore
[Verse 3]
C F C
The Cornish man is in demand with places he can go
F C G
Some sail across to Chile some stop off in Calio
C F C
Some will go to Canada to mine the Rocky Bed
F C G C
And with our picks and pasties a diaspora has spread
[Chorus]
F C Am
So close down the engine house and shut the tin mine gates
F C G
Leave the picks and shovels at the door
F C Am
Cos when the wheels they stop turning the Davey lamp stop burning
C G C
It’s time to leave our sacred shore
[Verse 4]
C F C
I think I’ll go to Leadville where the winter winds blow cold
F C Am G
I’ll try my hand at copper and I’ll try my luck at gold
C F C
One day I’ll come home again with pockets full of charm
F C G C
I’ll walk the granite path and I’ll buy back the family farm
[Chorus]
F C Am
So close down the engine house and shut the tin mine gates
F C G
Leave your picks and shovels at the door
F C Am
Cos when the wheels they stop turning the Davey lamp stops burning
C G C
It’s time to leave the sacred shore
C F C F C G C F C F C G C
[Verse 5]
C F C
This is not a song of sadness although that’s the way it seems
F C Am G
We’ll always have our roots boys we’ll always have our dreams
C F C
In every corner of the world you’ll always hear the call
F C G C
Geddon boy!, Right on!, Wass on!, Oll an gwella, one and all
[Chorus]
F C Am
So close down the engine house and shut the tin mine gates
F C G
Leave your picks and shovels at the door
F C Am
Cos when the wheels they stop turning the Davey lamps stop burning
C G C
It’s time to leave the sacred shore
[Verse 6]
F C Am
And maybe in another life we’ll mine our ground again
F C G
The engine house will jump to life once more
F C Am
While the world is still turning the Cornish hearts are burning
C G C
And we’ll always have our sacred shore
