Cape Spear(Chords)

	        Intro: C  Em  F    ~ Dm  G  C  G  C 

                Em             F          ~ Dm 
Me and Margaret grew up on the Southside 
              G              Em   D A Dm 
Our house was two doors down 
                    G          F              Em 
Across the bay, the city lay a stone's throw away 
                  Dm                   G 
Though we weren't wanted over there in town 


         C                   Em             F        ~  
When the summer turned, we'd hike the dusty highway 
       Dm                  G                    Em   D A 
Out to where the sun would split the rocks, I swear 
Dm             G            F     Em 
Stand with our backs to the ocean spray 
        Dm                            G 
Playing dangerous games of courage or dare 


 
C           Em 
Cape Spear, Cape Spear 
F              Em               Dm G 
These would be moments we would savour 
C              Em 
Cape Spear, at Cape Spear 
F             Em       Dm         G    F    Em  Dm  G  C 
Time is but a face upon the wa-wa-wa-water 



                 Em               F          Dm 
Standing here, I still recall the morning 
          G            Em   D A Dm 
We awoke, Margaret was gone 
                G               F          Em            Dm 
She hadn't run away, she wasn't taken by a wave, no, no, no 
              G              C 
It's not that kind of song 


                  Em          F              ~  
There's enough of sad stories passed on down 
      Dm               G               Em   D A  
Where old men weep and fishers' widows wail 
    Dm               G           F            Em     
But Margaret and her maiden aunt only went to town 
Dm                           G 
Tides turn, the world turns 'round 


 
C              Em 
Cape Spear, at Cape Spear 
F               Em            Dm       G 
Still I ply the dusty highway, year on year 
       C                  Em 
Out to Cape Spear, out to Cape Spear 
F             Em       Dm         
Time is but a face upon the water 
F             Em       Dm         G    F    Em  Dm  G  F  C  Dm  G  C 
Time is but a face upon the wa-wa-wa-water 



                  Em            F          ~ Dm 
These eyes hardly recognize the Southside 
                    G           Em   D A Dm 
Margaret's house is gone, so is mine 
                         G                    F       Em     
From where I'd watch the city glow, there's a seafood bistro 
    Dm                                     G 
And Margaret's house is a school of hair design 


              C                   Em          F    ~ Dm 
I say let the winds rush, let the waves wash away 
               G          Em       D A  
One's bound to get ya one fine day 
           Dm       G           Em     
For we are all only dreaming, I swear 
        Dm                            G 
Playing dangerous games of courage or dare 



           C              Em 
Playing at Cape Spear, at Cape Spear 
F              Em               Dm      G 
These would be moments we would savour 
C           Em 
Cape Spear, Cape Spear 
F            Em           Dm       G 
We plied the dusty highway year on year 
            F         Em       
Out to Cape Spear, to Cape Spear 
F             Em            Dm     G  
Time is but a face upon the water 
F             Em       Dm         G    F    Em  Dm  G  F  C  Dm  G  C 
Time is but a face upon the wa-wa-wa-water
