[Verse 1]
D# B
Ginny said good-bye this afternoon
As far as I can tell
D#m
She can’t bear the good-bye evenings
C#
Or the morning afters of farewell
B
She says, “Here you are another one
D# F#m
to whose back I’m saying cheers.
D#m
It’s like a death in the family
C#
and it’s been going on for years.”
[Chorus]
F#
And so I’ll cast my leaving shadow
D#m G# F#
And I’ll be Canadian
C#
But distance won’t decide what matters
B
To the Hard Rock’s loving son.
F#
And when I’m thinking of St. John’s
B D#m B
I’ll bring her closer with a song
C#m B
I don’t know where I’m going but I know where I belong
[Verse 2]
D#m
Don’t get the old man started
D# G# B
Or I’ll have to hide him from the rum
G# F#
If we can keep his mind from ’49
He’ll keep having fun.
D#m C#
Oh, it’s not the kids he’s cursing
B F#
Though I’m his third to leave
D#m
He’s mad at Mr. Smallwood
C#
And it’s a parent’s right to grieve.
[Chorus]
F#
And so I’ll cast my leaving shadow
D#m G# F#
And I’ll be Canadian
C#
But distance won’t decide what matters
B
To the Hard Rock’s loving son.
F#
And when I’m thinking of St. John’s
B D#m B
I’ll bring her closer with a song
C#m B
I don’t know where I’m going but I know where I belong
[Bridge]
D#
So let’s take a moment’s silence
D#5
for our dear departed souls
D#
Let’s fly our flags at half their mast
E
As another young man goes
C#m
The laughter of the children
E C#m
supplanted by the rolling ghosts
D#
Another tide surrenders
C#
to a far and foreign coast
I told Mom I’d stay closer to the cousins
D#
Who beat the path from our front door
Bm
One right after the other
D#m
and they won’t be back no more
B
But the thing I think I fear the most
F#
She whispered in my ear
D#
Is being the last flower in the garden
C#
With no one left to care
[Chorus]
F#
And so I’ll cast my leaving shadow
D#m G# F#
And I’ll be Canadian
C#
But distance won’t decide what matters
B
To the Hard Rock’s loving son.
F#
And when I’m thinking of St. John’s
B D#m B
I’ll bring her closer with a song
C#m B
I don’t know where I’m going but I know where I belong
