Great traditional Newfoundland song in 6/8 time.
Capo III
Chorus between each verse.
G D G
It's been some Cyears ago
Since I left from my Gisland
To go to the Dmainland,
Like the old folks would Gsay; C G
As I walked up the Cgangway
And I stood on the Gstarboard
And I gazed on the Dharbour
On a grey foggy Gday. C G
(Chorus)
Summer days they were Cwarmer then
When we laughed with the Gold fishermen,
And they cursed when the Dfog rolled in,
Then they made up the Ghay; C G
It's been more than a Clong, long time
Since I held you and cGalled you mine,
And we waited for the Dsun to shine
On a grey foggy Gday.C G
To wake in the Cearly morn
To the sound of the Gold fog horn,
And wait for the Dmen to return
With their boats in the Gbay; C G
All these things I don't Csee no more
When I lived on the Gold cape shore,
And I gazed on the Dboats on the moors
On a grey foggy Gday. C G
Summer days they were Cwarmer then
When we laughed with the Gold fishermen,
And they cursed when the Dfog rolled in,
Then they made up the Ghay; C G
It's been more than a Clong, long time
Since I held you and cGalled you mine,
And we waited for the sDun to shine
On a grey foggy Gday. C G
And as long as my Cheart don't break,
From those old memoGries,
Old lovers and oDld used-to-be's,
I'll come home to sGtay; C G
I can still hear the Cocean roar
Through the hills on the oGld cape shore,
There are no fishing Dboats anymore,
But it's a grey foggy Gday. C G
Summer days they were Cwarmer then
When we laughed with the Gold fishermen,
And they cursed when the Dfog rolled in,
Then they made up the Ghay; C G
It's been more than a Clong, long time
Since I held you and Gcalled you mine,
And we waited for the Dsun to shine
On a grey foggy Gday. C G
And I pray that the Dsun will shine ....
On this grey foggy Gday. C G
