Heading for Halifax
2
G D G C
3
Late spring the leaves have turned green,
4
G Em D
5
And there's sheep on the hill side, there's birds on the wing.
6
G D C G
7
Over my shoulder the last time I'm seeing,
8
D C G
9
The old home all weathered and grey
10
G D G C
11
We talked till three, my father and me,
12
G Em D
13
And the fiddle tunes flowed like the pure Margaree,
14
G D C G
15
"Never forget who you are,son", said he.
16
D C G
17
As I followed my brothers away.
18
Chorus:
19
Em
20
And I'm heading for Halifax to see what's to spare,
21
D
22
In the way of some work and if there's nothing there,
23
Em
24
It's Toronto, Out west, to God only knows where,
25
C G D
26
But there's bound to be friends from back home.
27
G D G C
28
One thing I know, wherever I go,
29
G Em D
30
My heart's in Cape Breton it will always be so.
31
G D C G
32
Whenever the fiddler he rosens his bow,
33
D C G
34
My first and last thoughts are of home.
35
Cho.
