Capelin Time
Capo 1st Fret
[Verse]
D A
In Boston Town an old man died one day,
D
Dreaming of his home so far away.
G
He must have known his words were all in vain,
D A D
Oh take me home when it’s Capelin Time again.
[Chorus]
D A
I wanna go back when it’s Capelin time again.
D
I want to walk in the softly falling rain.
G
And hear again the lonely sea gulls cry.
D A D
Oh take me home once more before I die.
[Verse]
D A
I must have heard these words a thousand times,
D
Not even caring what was on the old mans mind,
G
As he told tales of his boyhood on the sand,
D A D
When twas Capelin Time back home in Newfoundland
D A
And he vowed each year that he would soon return,
D
But times were bad and money must be earned.
G
Now the years have gone like the softly falling rain,
D A D
He can’t go back when it’s Capelin Time again.
[Chorus]
D A
I wanna go back when it’s Capelin time again.
D
I want to walk in the softly falling rain.
G
And hear again the lonely sea gulls cry.
D A D
Oh take me home once more before I die.
[Verse]
D A
And now I stand where he once stood before,
D
With silver Capelin splashing on the shore,
G
I pray to God he can somehow understand,
D A D
I took him home, back home to Newfoundland
[Chorus]
D A
I wanna go back when it’s Capelin time again.
D
I want to walk in the softly falling rain.
G
And hear again the lonely sea gulls cry.
D A D
Oh take me home once more before I die.
