INTRO: C Em F ~ Dm G C G C
Em F ~ Dm
Me and Margaret grew up on the Southside
Our house was [G]two doors down[Em][D][A][Dm]
Across the bay, the [G]city lay a [F]stone's throw a[Em]way
Though we weren't [Dm]wanted over there in [G]town
C Em F ~
When the summer turned, we'd hike the dusty highway
Out to [Dm]where the sun would [G]split the rocks, I sw[Em]ear[D][A]
[Dm]Stand with our [G]backs to the [F]ocean [Em]spray
Playing [Dm]dangerous games of courage or [G]dare
CHORUS:
[C]Cape Spear, [Em]Cape Spear
[F]These would be [Em]moments we would [Dm]sav[G]our
[C]Cape Spear, at [Em]Cape Spear
[F]Time is but a [Em]face upon[Dm] the wa-wa-[G]wa-wa[F]ter[Em][Dm][G][C]
Standing here, I [Em]still recall the [F]morning[Dm]
We awoke, [G]Margaret was [Em]gone[D][A][Dm]
She hadn't run a[G]way, she wasn't [F]taken by a [Em]wave, no, no, [Dm]no
It's not that [G]kind of song[C]
Em F ~
There's enough of sad stories passed on down
Where [Dm]old men weep and [G]fishers' widows [Em]wail[D][A]
But [Dm]Margaret and her [G]maiden aunt [F]only went to [Em]town
[Dm]Tides turn, the world turns '[G]round
CHORUS:
[C]Cape Spear, at [Em]Cape Spear
[F]Still I ply the [Em]dusty highway,[Dm] year on [G]year
Out to [C]Cape Spear, out to [Em]Cape Spear
[F]Time is but a [Em]face upon[Dm] the water
[F]Time is but a [Em]face upon[Dm] the wa-wa-[G]wa-wa[F]ter[Em][Dm][G][F][C][Dm][G][C]
Em F ~ Dm
These eyes hardly recognize the Southside
Margaret's house is [G]gone, so is [Em]mine[D][A][Dm]
From where I'd watch the [G]city glow, there's a [F]seafood [Em]bistro
And [Dm]Margaret's house is a school of hair de[G]sign
C Em F ~ Dm
I say let the winds rush, let the waves wash away
One's bound to [G]get ya one [Em]fine day[D][A]
For we are [Dm]all only [G]dreaming, I [Em]swear
Playing [Dm]dangerous games of courage or [G]dare
CHORUS:
Playing at [C]Cape Spear, at [Em]Cape Spear
[F]These would be [Em]moments we would [Dm]savour[G]
[C]Cape Spear, [Em]Cape Spear
[F]We plied the [Em]dusty highway[Dm] year on [G]year
Out to Cape [F]Spear, to [Em]Cape Spear
[F]Time is but a [Em]face upon the [Dm]water[G]
[F]Time is but a [Em]face upon[Dm] the wa-wa-[G]wa-wa[F]ter [Em] [Dm] [G] [F][C][Dm][G][C]
