Вступление
Emailed Mike for these chords. Very nice man!
Capo on 3rd
[Verse 1]
C F C
I keep coming home just to see you my dear
C F C
My parents are old and their time's coming near
C F C
Well my pockets are rich and my back's getting poor
C F C
and I keep my chin high and my feet on the floor
C F C
It must've been some time since I last seen you
C F C
When you waved me goodbye from your living room
C F C
The company just paid my flight to come home
C F C
and a week off ain't much when you travel alone
[Chorus]
C F G C
and I said I knowww...
C F
That our love can just never be
F G C
As long as I need Fort McMurray
C G
Love you know how much I miss the sea
C F G C
and the breeze on the Mira River
C F
Oh the nights in Whale Cove were the best
F
and as long as there's work on the oil rigs my lover
F G C
I'll leave you my heart but I'll die in the west
[Verse 2]
C F C
Even out on the rigs I found Maritime charm
C F C
As I worked at the sides of my brothers in arms
C F C
Had the lads from the Rock and the mainlanders too
C F C
When you're this far from home you connect by your roots
C F C
Well my grandfather spent half his life underground
C F C
and his lungs were so black that he may as well have drowned
C F C
and now I don't wish for my children to see
C F C
Their old man to look 50 when he's 33
[Chorus]
C F G C
and I said I knowww...
C F
That our love can just never be
F G C
As long as I need Fort McMurray
C G
Love you know how much I miss the sea
C F G C
and the breeze on the Mira River
C F
Oh the nights spent with you were the best
F
and as long as there's work on the oil rigs my lover
F G C
I'll leave you my heart but I'll die in the west
[Verse 3]
C F C
Baby I know that you love the East Coast
C F C
So I raise up my glass and I offer a toast
C F C
To our last visit before I go back
C F C
Just to bank up my money while the oil sands last
C F C
Oh you must tell my son where he'll bury me
C F C
In the soil of Cape Breton I'd much rather be
C F C
and I hope I can save enough money to rest
C F C
When the time comes to cross my arms over my chest
[Chorus]
C F G C
and I said I knowww...
C F
That our love can just never be
F G C
As long as I need Fort McMurray
C G
Love you know how much I miss the sea
C F G C
and the breeze on the Mira River
C F
Oh the nights in Whale Cove were the best
F
and as long as there's work on the oil rigs my lover
F G C
I'll leave you my heart but I'll die in the west
C F G C
and I said I knowww...
C F
That our love can just never be
F G C
As long as I need Fort McMurray
C G
Love you know how much I miss the sea
C F G C
and the breeze on the Mira River
C F
Oh the nights in Whale Cove were the best
F
and as long as there's work on the oil rigs my lover
F G C
I'll leave you my heart but I'll die in the west
