The Island - Kenzie MacNeil
[Intro]
G D (4x)
[Verse 1]
G D G D
Over an ocean, and over a sea
G D Am7 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 Am7 D D
The hills of Cape Breton, this new home of mine.
G D G Em
And we come from the countries, all over the world
C Bm Am D
To hack at the forests, to plough the lands down.
Em D G Em
Fishermen, farmers, and sailors all come,
C Em D G
To clear for the future, this pioneer ground.
[Chorus]
G Am7 Em 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 Am7 Bm D
In soft summer breeze, or in wild winter winds
Em 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 Am7 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 Am7 D D
The smoke stacks are belching and the blast furnace burning.
G D G Em
Ahhh the sweat on the back is no joy to behold
C Bm Am D
In the heat of the steel plant or mining the coal.
Em D G Em
And the foreign owned companies force us to fight
C Em D G
For our survival, and for out rights.
[Chorus]
G Am7 Em 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 Am7 Bm D
In soft summer breeze, or in wild winter winds
Em 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 Am7 D D
Over the causeway, stories are told.
G D G D
They tell of the coming and the going away
G D Am7 D D
Cities of America draw me away.
G D G Em
Oh and the companies come, and the companies go
C Bm Am D
And the ways of the world we may never know.
Em D G Em
We'll follow the footsteps of those on their way,
C Em D G
and still ask for the right to leave or to stay.
[Chorus]
G Am7 Em 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 Am7 Bm D
In soft summer breeze, or in wild winter winds
Em D C G G D C G
The home of our hearts, Cape Bre-ton... (2x)
