He feried model A's to
[C]the Cape [G]Cherado shore

[Verse 10]
[G]Way before my poppa [D]ever had a son
[G]

[Verse 11]
When I was eight or nine I would

[Verse 19]
Still [G]I would drop by and
[C]we'd sit and reminis[G]ce

[Verse 20]
And I'd [G]stare across the river
so as [D]not to wath him [G]cry

[Verse 21]

[G]Mourning and crying down
[D]to the youngest [G]child

[Verse 27]
And [G]all that's gathered here
