Intro: Bb  Gm   D 

D                  G 
I was born in Cape Breton 
D           A 
Born by the sea 
A      D 
By the Seal Island bridge 
   D 
In sweet Boularderie 
D              G 
An by age seventeen 
          D           A 
There was nothing for me 
     D 
So I headed for Thorold 
         A       D 
Washed up on the beach 

D                 G 
An I slept in the Jungle 
     D             A 
Lived hard, took a fall 
A     D             G 
'Til I found myself standing 
  A       D 
At the SIU hall 
D 
And with nothing to stay for 
            A 
No kids and no wife 
D                A 
I signed on that morning 
                 D 
For the rest of my life 

   A  
My back it was strong 
        D               A 
And that strength never failed 
  D            G 
Up the Detroit River 
       A          D 
On the Ferndale I sailed 

G D A     D G D 

             G 
And now I am married 
       D      A 
To the woman I love 
       D 
She's a gift I was given 
      G       D 
From Heaven above 
                 G 
And I call every morning 
                 A 
And I call every night 
          D      G 
She's all I ever wanted 
   A           D 
The love of my life 

     A 
And now in the evening 
        D          A 
When we talk on the phone 
        Fm         G 
She says I love you Daddy 
      A              D 
When you coming back home 

B A G B D A B E D B D E D A 

D               G 
Tonight down the line 
  D            A 
I heard my boy say 
Dm  D      G 
Daddy I miss you 
A     D 
More every day 
   C      G   
But when I hear your voice 
     D        A        Em 
Then I feel alright 
Bm        D        G 
He says I love you Daddy 
Bm            D 
Good luck and good night 

    Em 
And now in the evening 
G        D          E 
When we talk on the phone 
A       D         G 
He says I love you Daddy 
         A          D 
When you coming back home 


D                  G 
I was born in Cape Breton 
D           A 
Born by the sea 
   E        D      G 
By the Seal Island bridge 
        A      D 
In sweet Boularderie
