[Verse 1]
D G
I'm standing here all by my strand,
D
watch the waves roll on the sand,
G
The sea breeze bouncing off the land
A
blows dirt into my eyes;
D G
I mind when we were active lads,
D
in fishing boats went with our dads,
G A D
To do what work we had when we was boys.
A G
We'd go to sea in dories,
D A
we'd go to sea in skiffs,
G
Set lobster pots in spring,
D G
shoot autumn seabirds off the cliffs;
D G
And if the times got tougher,
D G
what's the point of making noise,
D G A D
Oh, how hard did we work when we was boys.
[Chorus]
D A G D
When we was boys, when we was boys;
G A D
Oh, how hard did we work when we was boys.
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
D G
From water would our living take,
D
the women all the fish would make,
G
Spread them out upon the flake,
A
and hope for sunny skies;
D G
Leave early on a foggy morn,
D
Work until you're weary worn,
G
Steer your way home by the horn,
A D
when we was boys.
A G
Where a crowd of youngsters climb
D A
around the rocks upon the beach,
G
Where now the boats lie idle
D G
and the fish are out of reach;
D G
Look down upon the harbour
D G
when you go out on the rise,
D G A D
It looks nothing like it did when we was boys.
[Chorus]
D A G D
When we was boys, when we was boys;
G A D
It looks nothing like it did when we was boys.

[Verse 3]
D G
The ocean's now a barren gray,
D
we've lost our old-fashion ways,
G
Folks are moving from the bay,
A
it's a thing I did despise;
D G
We who stay live with the fear
D
of growing older every year,
G
We prayed our children would stay near,
A D
just like when we was boys.
A G
We never had much money
D A
but we got by all the same,
G
We never begged for handouts,
D G
we weren't looking to lay blame;
D G
We practiced self-reliance,
D G
hailed to each other's cries,
D G
But times have changed so much
A D
since we was boys.
[Chorus]
D A G D
Since we was boys, since we was boys;
G
Yes, times have changed so much
A D
since we was boys.
[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
D G
Today we look to government
D
instead of being independent,
D G
Now the money's all been spent,
A
we've witnessed its demise;
D G
There's times we've been through thick and thin,
D
been knocked down got up again,
D G
We always found a way to win,
A D
when we was boys.
A G
Now the foghorn sends a lonely call
D A
on its way across the swell,
G
The lighthouse keeper's been replaced
D G
with a flashlight on the hill;
D G
Who was it said that elders
D G
are experienced and wise,
D G A D
No one wants to hear about when we was boys.
[Chorus]
D A G D
When we was boys, when we was boys;
G A D
No one wants to hear about when we was boys.
D A G D
When we was boys, when we was boys;
G
Yes, times have changed so much
A D
since we was boys.
