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
