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