Band:Buddy Wasisname Album: The Series Stuff Tabbed by: Patrick Guiney Email:pguiney_@hotmail.com I suggest a soft easy sturmming, better sound! If you know the song you know how great it is. Have fun! C G Am F Just to wake up in the morning to the quiet of the cove C G C And hear aunt Bessie talking to herself. C G Am F And to hear poor uncle John mumbling wishes too old now C G C It made me feel like everything was fine. G Am F C I was born down by the water, it's here I'm gonna stay G Am F C I've searched for all the reasons why I should go away. G Am F Course I haven't got the thirst for all those modern day toys C G C So I'll just take my chances with those saltwater joys. C G Am F Following the little brook, as it trickles to the shore C G C In the autumn winds the trees are flaming red. C G Am F Kicking leaves that fall around me, watching sunset paint the hills C G C It's all I'll never need to feel at home. G Am F C This island that we cling to has been handed down with pride G Am F C But folks that fought to live here, taking hardships all in stride. G Am F So I'll compliment her beauty, hold on to my good-byes C G C And I'll stay, take my chances with those saltwater joys. C G Am F How can I leave those mornings, with the sunrise on the cove C G C And the gulls like fly's surrounding Clayton's wharf. C G Am F Platters island wrapped in rainbow, in the evening after fog C G C The ocean smells are perfume to my soul. G Am F C Some go to where the buildings reach to meet the clouds G Am F C Where warm and gentile people turn to swarm and faceless crowds. G Am C So I'll do without their riches, Glamour and the noise C G C And I'll stay, take my chances with those saltwater joys. Bridge G Am F C Some go to where the buildings reach to meet the clouds G Am F C Where warm and gentile people turn to swarm and faceless crowds. G Am C So I'll do without their riches, Glamour and the noise C G C And I'll stay, take my chances with those saltwater joys
