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

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

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

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