[Verse 1]
When the [D]big moon shines in the Maritimes|On the [G]old [D]Atlantic shore|I'll be glad to be back to old Halifax and the [E]girl that [A]I adore!|When the b[D]ig skies blue, I'll be coming to y[G]ou|With a love f[D]or evermore,|Where the h[G]igh tides roll, on the r[D]ock [A]y s[B]hoals|Of the old [D]Atlant[A]ic shor[D]e.||Where the fishing nets hang, and the bouy bells clang,|You marv[G]el at the ste[D]vedores' might.|And the big empty ships, from the docks they slip|Aw[E]ay in the silence of night.|[A]How I reminis[D]ce your goodbye kiss, standin[G]g in the sha[D]nty door.|I[G]'mcoming back home, never more to[D] roam, f[Bm]rom th[B]e old Atl[D]antic [A]shore.|[D]|When the big moon shines in the Maritimes|On the old Atlantic s[G]hore|I'll[D] be glad to be back to old Halifax and the girl that I a[E]dore!|When[A] the big skies blue[D],
I'll be coming [G]to you|With a love [D]for evermore,|Where the [G]high tides roll, on the [D]rocky [B]sho[D]als|Of the old Atlan[A]tic sho[D]re.[G]||I[D]t's[G] a [A]lon[B]g w[D]ays[A] do[D]wn to Halifax town|Where the great white seagull flies|But [G]the big blue[D] sea, it's a-callin' to me,|'Come back to your big blue eyes.'|I[E] can feel sea bre[A]ezes comin' throug[D]h the trees,|I can hear the ocean's roar.|I'll be[G] home ton[D]ight, dear, to hold yo[G]u tight,|On the old Atl[D]antic[Bm] Sho[B]re.||When the big [D]moon s[A]hines [D]in the Maritimes|On the old Atlantic sho[G]re|I'll be glad to be ba[D]ck to old Halifax and the girl that I adore!|When the big skie[E]s blue, I'[A]ll b[D]e coming to you|With a love for evermore,|Where the high tid[G]es rol[D]l, o[G]n the rocky shoals|Of the old Atlantic shore.|[D]|Where[Bm] the high tides ro[D]ll, on[A] the r[D]ocky shoals|Of the old[G] Atlantic shore.|[D][Bm][B][D]
