[Intro]
C G C G C G Em D
C G C G C G Em D G
[Verse 1]
G
You could shoot off a cannon
G C G
Down the middle of bond
C G Em D
And attract no attention in downtown st. john's
G C G
This getting nowhere is getting to me
C G
Wondering where can you go
C G
To be all you can be
[Verse 2]
G C G
No regular joe wants to Haul up and go
C G
And wind up homesick
G Em D
Where there's no one you know
G
Just a smoke and a beer
G C G
And the sports on tv
G C G
Feelin’ sorry you left
G C G
With no choice but to leave
[Chorus]
C G
No change in the weather
C G
No change in me
C G
I don't want to leave
G Em D
But you can't live for free
G C
Can't eat the air, can't drink the sea
C G
No change in the weather
Em D G
No change in me
[Interlude]
C G C G C G Em D
C G C G C G Em D G
[Verse 3]
G
You could shoot off a cannon
G C G
From the top of long's hill
G C G D
And a gulliver's taxi might be all you'd kill
G
We were promised the sun
G C G
And the moon and the stars
G C G C
We got weathered old clapboard and salt-rusted cars
[Verse 4]
G C G
So let me join in the leaving, with all of the rest
G C G Em D
For Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver west
G
Lay down on a sidewalk
C G
and Kick off and die
G C G
watchin’ people not lookin'
D G
As they hurry by
[Final chorus]
C G
No change in the weather
C G
No change in me
C G
I don't want to leave
G Em D
But you can't live for free
G C
Can't eat the air, can't drink the sea
C G
No change in the weather
Em D G
No change in me
C G
No change in me
C G
I don't want to leave
G Em D
But you can't live for free
D
Down here, you can live for free
G C
Can't eat the air, can't drink the sea
C G
No change in the weather
Em D G
No change in me
[Outro]
