[Intro 1]
[C][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]In the cold Canadian waters,
[C]North from the coast of Maine,
[G]There's an island called
Newfoundland,
Swept by snow, wind and [D]rain.
On the [G]island there's a village
with its customs and its [C]ways,
The little town of [G]Carmanville,
my [D]home of childhood [G]days.
Where the [C]people make a living
on the land and on the sea,
[G]There [C]are [G]people on the island
that mean the world to [D]me.
I [G]wish I had the power
to change the course of [C]time
And to live again in [G]Newfoundland,
my [D]home of childhood [G]time
Those childhood days
were happy and [C]care
free all the time
[G]There's a girl in every story
and you know there's one in [D]mine
She [G]broke my heart so often,
it stays a little [C]sore
And that's the reason [G]I left home
and can[D]'t go back no [G]more
Where the [C]people make a living
on the land and on the sea
There are [G]people on the island
that mean the world [D]to me
I [G]wish I had the power
to change the course [C]of time
And to live again in [G]Newfoundland,
my [D]home of childhood [G]time
I'd love to watch the sailboats again
as they [C]glide across the bay
And to [G]see once more
the farmers sow their seeds and cut the [D]hay
On this [G]is land there's
no strangers here,
[C]everybody is your friend,
the little [G]isle of Newfoundland,
[D]someday I'll see [G]again.
Where the [C]people make a living,
on the land and on the sea,
[G]there [C]are [G]people on the island
that mean the world [D]to me.
I [G]wish I had the power
to change the course of [C]time
And to live again in [G]Newfoundland,
my [D]home of childhood [G]time.
To [C]live again in [G]Newfoundland,
my home [D]of childhood time.
[G]
