Goin Down The Road

       D            D
In the isle of Cape Breton
   C          D
My father did stay
        D        C      D
And his father's father before
D                     C           D
Fishing the banks and digging the coal
     D                C            D
From mines that don't give no more ore


[Chorus]
        G              D
And I'm goin' down the road boys
G                D
Seeking what I'm owed boys
      G                Bm
And I know it must get better
    A            G   A G A D
The far enough I go


[Verse 2]
     D
I re-member the fishermen
   C          D
Re-turning so gay
      D             C          D
Their nets with the silver cod blessed
         D
But they couldn't compete
         C
With the company fleets
         D          C          D
Now it's welfare re-lief or go west


[Chorus]
        G              D
So I'm goin' down the road boys
G                D
Seeking what I'm owed boys
      G                Bm
And I know it must get better
    A            G   A G A D
The far enough I go
