[Intro ]
G  Cadd9 D Cadd9 G Cadd9 D Cadd9 D 
N.C 

 
G                      Cadd9  G 
I was born on this island and so was my father 
Cadd9                         G 
We spend our lives underground 
Cadd9 
He's just forty three 
Cadd9                                 G  Cadd9  G 
but they call him old man in this town 

Pre Chorus 
G              CM7 
But that won't be me 
CM7             G      Cadd9  G 
cos you make me shine 
G                     CM7 
We're gonna get free 
CM7                   G    Cadd9 G 
It's just a matter of time 
 

 
        G           Cadd9            G 
Meet me down by the lighthouse tonight 
CM7                          D           G 
We'll take that boat and row out on the bay 
G                      Cadd9       G 
And we'll tell our dreams to the sky 
C                             D         G 
The Cape Breton wind's gonna blow us away 
 

Interlude 
G  C  D  C  D 

 
           G             Cadd9   G 
Now there's carbon tattoos on my father's skin 
Cadd9                     G 
A rattle down deep in his chest 
Cadd9                          CM7 
He stops on the stairs sometimes 
CM7                     G    Cadd9 G 
and he catches his breath 

Pre Chorus 
G                CM7 
But that won't be me 
CM7               G Cadd9 G 
cos we got a plan 
G             CM7    Cadd9 CM7 
And dying too young 
CM7                   G   Cadd9 G 
aint the mark of a man 
 

 
G                   Cadd9      G 
Meet me down by the lighthouse tonight 
CM7                            D          G 
We'll take that boat and row out on the bay 
    G            Cadd9           G 
And we'll sell our dreams to the sky 
    Cadd9                       D       G   G Cadd9 G 
The Cape Breton wind's gonna blow us away 
 

 
Cadd9                    B7 
I've got a few dollars saved 
        Am                Cadd9            D Dsus D5 D 
We could go to Vancouver, Boston or even L.A 
 

Interlude

      G               Cadd9                G   G  Cadd9  D  G 
I was born on this island and so was my father
