Shanneyganock – Christmas Time In Newfoundland chords

DAll hands are awake tonight 
    Gthe weather it is rough
    Athe skipper smiles and all hands note 
     G            Dhe's not a man to bluff

the wheel he grapsed, the waves they crashed
    Gthe night is not so clear
          Abut he'll push he hard with no regard
   G                 Dto make it home this year

DA giant of a man he stands
     Gour skipper brave and strong
       Abut he promised us two weeks ago
     G                 Dthat we would make St. John's

to celebrate the christ child's birth
         Gwith the families oh so dear
    Ato visit out communities
   G                    Dto spread our christmas cheer

G                   A               DI'll try to make it home again this year
   G          Aby land or by sea
  D                GI think of you and me
                      A          DIf I could I'd take a plane that soars across the sky
    G                 AFor Christmas time in Newfoundland
    G               Dand my own piece of mind

But the sea is unforgiving
it drove us up and down
but lucky we did have a ship
that was so very sound
we rode our way past baccalieu
and down by logey bay
the people that we missed so much
were not too far away

We pushed along the coastline
till a break came in the rock
the roughest trip we ever made
was one mile from the dock
boys I've kept my promise
the skipper he did say
we passed by fort amherst light
on that cold Christmas Day

I'll try to make it home again this year
by land or by sea 
I think of you and me
If I could I'd take a plane that soars across the sky
For Christmas time in Newfoundland 
and my own piece of mind

So people that you know who work
on the land or on the sea
remember that if possible 
it's home that they will be
to celebrate this blessid time
with family oh so dear
to say they made it home again
for christmas time this year

I'll try to make it home again this year
by land or by sea 
I think of you and me
If I could I'd take a plane that soars across the sky
For Christmas time in Newfoundland 
and my own piece of mind

I'll try to make it home again this year
by land or by sea 
I think of you and me
If I could I'd take a plane that soars across the sky
For Christmas time in Newfoundland 
and my own piece of mind

For Christmas time in Newfoundland 
and my own piece of mind
