GRAY FOGGIE DAY
Traditional Newfoundland song in 6/8 time.
Intro F C
C F C
It's been some years ago since I left from my island
G G7 C
To go to the mainland, like the old folks would say;
C7 F C
As I walked up the gangway And I stood on the starboard
G G7 C F C
And I gazed on the harbour on a grey foggy day
(Chorus)
C7 F C
Summer days they were warmer then when we laughed with the old fishermen,
G G7 C
And they cursed when the fog rolled in, then they made up the hay;
C7 F C
It's been more than a long, long time since I held you and called you mine,
G G7 C F C
And we waited for the sun to shine On a grey foggy day.
Intrumental chorus C7 F C G G7 C C7 F C G G7 C F C
C7 F C
To wake in the early morn to the sound of the old fog horn,
G G7 C
And wait for the men to return with their boats in the bay;
C7 F C
All these things I don't see no more when I lived on the old cape shore,
G G7 C F C
And I gazed on the boats on the moors on a grey foggy day.
(Chorus)
C7 F C
Summer days they were warmer then when we laughed with the old fishermen,
G G7 C
And they cursed when the fog rolled in, then they made up the hay;
C7 F C
It's been more than a long, long time since I held you and called you mine,
G G7 C F C
And we waited for the sun to shine On a grey foggy day.
Intrumental chorus C7 F C G G7 C C7 F C G G7 C F C
C7 F C
And as long as my heart, doesn’t break from those old memories,
G G7 C
Old lovers and old use-to-bes, then I'll come home for to stay;
C7 F C
I can still hear the ocean roar through the hills on the old cape shore,
G G7 C F C
There are no fishing boats anymore, But it's a grey foggy day.
C7 F C
Summer days they were warmer then when we laughed with the old fishermen,
G G7 C
And they cursed when the fog rolled in, then they made up the hay;
C7 F C
It's been more than a long, long time since I held you and called you mine,
G G7 C F C
And we waited for the sun to shine on a grey foggy day.
G G7 C F C
And we pray that the sun will shine on a grey foggy day.
