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