spout Cove

Lyrics

G Major | Tempo: 80–100 BPM | Time: 4/4
Verse 1
G C G D
There’s a ghost town out in CBN
G C G D
Where my mother’s kin once lived back then
Em C G D
I see them toiling in days of old
Em C D G
For pennies earned in the biting cold
Verse 2
G C G D
In Newfoundland where the wild waves crash
G C G D
No locked doors, no need for a latch
Em C G D
They fished the sea and they worked the land
Em C D G
With weathered nets and calloused hands
Chorus
C G D Em
Oh, Spout Cove, I hear you in the tide
C G D G
Where the Tricketts and Kelloways still abide
C G D Em
By the stones where my great nan lies
C G D G
Under Newfoundland’s wide grey skies
C D G
Spout Cove, you’re the home I keep inside
Verse 3
G C G D
Now the houses stand with windows bare
G C G D
But their stories linger in the salted air
Em C G D
Two families strong, through hardship grown
Em C D G
This empty cove still calls me home
Oh Spout Cove I hear you in the tide
Where the Tricketts and the Kelloway's bide
By the stone where my great nan lies
Under Newfoundland's wide grey skies
Spout Cove your the home I keep inside
