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

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

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

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