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