Intro
G# D# (4x)
[Verse 1]
G# D# G# D#
Over an ocean, and over a sea
G# D# A#m7 D# D#
Beyond these great waters, what do I see?
G# D# G# D#
I see the great mountains that climb from the coastline,
G# D# A#m7 D# D#
The hills of Cape Breton, this new home of mine.
G# D# G# Fm
And we come from the countries, all over the world
C# Cm A#m D#
To hack at the forests, to plough the lands down.
Fm D# G# Fm
Fishermen, farmers, and sailors all come,
C# Fm D# G#
To clear for the future, this pioneer ground.
[Chorus]
G# A#m7 Fm D#
We are an island, a rock in a stream
G# C# A# D#
We are a people, as proud as there's been
G# A#m7 Cm D#
In soft summer breeze, or in wild winter winds
Fm D# C# G# G# D# C# G#
The home of our hearts, Cape Bre-ton...
[Verse 2]
G# D# G# D#
Over the rooftops and over the trees
G# D# A#m7 D# D#
Within these new townships, O what do I see?
G# D# G# D#
I see the black pit heads, the coal wheels are turning
G# D# A#m7 D# D#
The smoke stacks are belching and the blast furnace burning.
G# D# G# Fm
Ahhh the sweat on the back is no joy to behold
C# Cm A#m D#
In the heat of the steel plant or mining the coal.
Fm D# G# Fm
And the foreign owned companies force us to fight
C# Fm D# G#
For our survival, and for out rights.
[Chorus]
G# A#m7 Fm D#
We are an island, a rock in a stream
G# C# A# D#
We are a people, as proud as there's been
G# A#m7 Cm D#
In soft summer breeze, or in wild winter winds
Fm D# C# G# G# D# C# G#
The home of our hearts, Cape Bre-ton...
[Verse 3]
G# D# G# D#
Over the highways and over the roads
G# D# A#m7 D# D#
Over the causeway, stories are told.
G# D# G# D#
They tell of the coming and the going away
G# D# A#m7 D# D#
Cities of America draw me away.
G# D# G# Fm
Oh and the companies come, and the companies go
C# Cm A#m D#
And the ways of the world we may never know.
Fm D# G# Fm
We'll follow the footsteps of those on their way,
C# Fm D# G#
and still ask for the right to leave or to stay.
[Chorus]
G# A#m7 Fm D#
We are an island, a rock in a stream
G# C# A# D#
We are a people, as proud as there's been
G# A#m7 Cm D#
In soft summer breeze, or in wild winter winds
Fm D# C# G# G# D# C# G#
The home of our hearts, Cape Bre-ton... (2x)
