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