[Verse 1]
F C#
Ginny said good-bye this afternoon
As far as I can tell
Fm
She can’t bear the good-bye evenings
D#
Or the morning afters of farewell
C#
She says, “Here you are another one
F G#m
to whose back I’m saying cheers.
Fm
It’s like a death in the family
D#
and it’s been going on for years.”
[Chorus]
G#
And so I’ll cast my leaving shadow
Fm A# G#
And I’ll be Canadian
D#
But distance won’t decide what matters
C#
To the Hard Rock’s loving son.
G#
And when I’m thinking of St. John’s
C# Fm C#
I’ll bring her closer with a song
D#m C#
I don’t know where I’m going but I know where I belong
[Verse 2]
Fm
Don’t get the old man started
F A# C#
Or I’ll have to hide him from the rum
A# G#
If we can keep his mind from ’49
He’ll keep having fun.
Fm D#
Oh, it’s not the kids he’s cursing
C# G#
Though I’m his third to leave
Fm
He’s mad at Mr. Smallwood
D#
And it’s a parent’s right to grieve.
[Chorus]
G#
And so I’ll cast my leaving shadow
Fm A# G#
And I’ll be Canadian
D#
But distance won’t decide what matters
C#
To the Hard Rock’s loving son.
G#
And when I’m thinking of St. John’s
C# Fm C#
I’ll bring her closer with a song
D#m C#
I don’t know where I’m going but I know where I belong
[Bridge]
F
So let’s take a moment’s silence
F5
for our dear departed souls
F
Let’s fly our flags at half their mast
F#
As another young man goes
D#m
The laughter of the children
F# D#m
supplanted by the rolling ghosts
F
Another tide surrenders
D#
to a far and foreign coast
I told Mom I’d stay closer to the cousins
F
Who beat the path from our front door
C#m
One right after the other
Fm
and they won’t be back no more
C#
But the thing I think I fear the most
G#
She whispered in my ear
F
Is being the last flower in the garden
D#
With no one left to care
[Chorus]
G#
And so I’ll cast my leaving shadow
Fm A# G#
And I’ll be Canadian
D#
But distance won’t decide what matters
C#
To the Hard Rock’s loving son.
G#
And when I’m thinking of St. John’s
C# Fm C#
I’ll bring her closer with a song
D#m C#
I don’t know where I’m going but I know where I belong
