[Verse 1]
C G#
Ginny said good-bye this afternoon
As far as I can tell
Cm
She can’t bear the good-bye evenings
A#
Or the morning afters of farewell
G#
She says, “Here you are another one
C D#m
to whose back I’m saying cheers.
Cm
It’s like a death in the family
A#
and it’s been going on for years.”
[Chorus]
D#
And so I’ll cast my leaving shadow
Cm F D#
And I’ll be Canadian
A#
But distance won’t decide what matters
G#
To the Hard Rock’s loving son.
D#
And when I’m thinking of St. John’s
G# Cm G#
I’ll bring her closer with a song
A#m G#
I don’t know where I’m going but I know where I belong
[Verse 2]
Cm
Don’t get the old man started
C F G#
Or I’ll have to hide him from the rum
F D#
If we can keep his mind from ’49
He’ll keep having fun.
Cm A#
Oh, it’s not the kids he’s cursing
G# D#
Though I’m his third to leave
Cm
He’s mad at Mr. Smallwood
A#
And it’s a parent’s right to grieve.
[Chorus]
D#
And so I’ll cast my leaving shadow
Cm F D#
And I’ll be Canadian
A#
But distance won’t decide what matters
G#
To the Hard Rock’s loving son.
D#
And when I’m thinking of St. John’s
G# Cm G#
I’ll bring her closer with a song
A#m G#
I don’t know where I’m going but I know where I belong
[Bridge]
C
So let’s take a moment’s silence
C5
for our dear departed souls
C
Let’s fly our flags at half their mast
C#
As another young man goes
A#m
The laughter of the children
C# A#m
supplanted by the rolling ghosts
C
Another tide surrenders
A#
to a far and foreign coast
I told Mom I’d stay closer to the cousins
C
Who beat the path from our front door
G#m
One right after the other
Cm
and they won’t be back no more
G#
But the thing I think I fear the most
D#
She whispered in my ear
C
Is being the last flower in the garden
A#
With no one left to care
[Chorus]
D#
And so I’ll cast my leaving shadow
Cm F D#
And I’ll be Canadian
A#
But distance won’t decide what matters
G#
To the Hard Rock’s loving son.
D#
And when I’m thinking of St. John’s
G# Cm G#
I’ll bring her closer with a song
A#m G#
I don’t know where I’m going but I know where I belong
