[Verse]
D
All you Maine men, proud and young
G D
When you run your easting down
C Bm
Don't go down to Fundy Bay
Am Em
She'll wear your time away
[Verse]
D
Fundy's long and Fundy's wide
G D
Fundy's fog and rain and tide
C Bm
Never see the sun or sky
Am Em D/F# G
Just the green wave going by
[Chorus]
C D
Cape Sable's horn blows all day long
Em Am
Wonder why
Em
Wonder why
[Verse]
D
Oh, you know, I'd rather ride
G D
The Grenfell Strait or the Breton tide
C Bm
Spend my days on the Labrador
Am Em
And never see old Fundy's shore
C G
All my days on the Labrador
Am Em D/F# G
And never see old Fundy's shore
[Chorus]
C D
Cape Sable's horn blows all day long
Em Am
Wonder why
Em
Wonder why
[Verse]
D
Give her stays'l, give her main
G D
In the darkness and the rain
C Bm
I don't mind the wet and cold
Am Em
I just don't like the growing old
C G
I don't mind the wet and cold
Am Em D/F# G
I just don't like the growing old
[Chorus]
C D
Cape Sable's horn blows all day long
Em Am
Wonder why
Em
Wonder why
[Verse]
D
East-by-North or East-Northeast
G D
Give her what she steers the best
C Bm
I don't want this foggy wave
Am Em
To be my far and lonely grave
C G
I don't want this foggy wave
Am Em D/F# G
To be my far and lonely grave
[Chorus]
C D
Cape Sable's horn blows all day long
Em Am
Wonder why
Em D/F# G
Wonder why
[Outro]
C D
Cape Breton's bells ring in the swells
Em Am
Ring for me
Em
Ring for me
