Introduction: C    Em    F    Dm    G    C    G    C    

                                          Em                                 F                          Dm  
Me and Margaret grew up on the Southside
                                     G                                    Em      DA  Dm  
Our house was two doors down
                                                     G                         F                                    Em  
Across the bay, the city lay a stone's throw away
                                                Dm                                                 G  
Though we weren't wanted over there in town
                        C                                                 Em                                 F  
When the summer turned, we'd hike the dusty highway
                  Dm                                              G                                                    Em      DA  
Out to where the sun would split the rocks, I swear
Dm                                 G                              F            Em  
Stand with our backs to the ocean spray
                     Dm                                                                         G  
Playing dangerous games of courage or dare
C                            Em  
Cape Spear, Cape Spear
F                                    Em                                      Dm  G  
These would be moments we would savour
C                                    Em  
Cape Spear, at Cape Spear
F                                 Em                 Dm                      G         F         Em    Dm    G    C  
Time is but a face upon the wa-wa-wa-water
                                             Em                                      F                         Dm  
Standing here, I still recall the morning
                          G                              Em      DA  Dm  
We awoke, Margaret was gone
                                          G                                      F                         Em                              Dm  
She hadn't run away, she wasn't taken by a wave, no, no, no
                                     G                                    C  
It's not that kind of song
                                                Em                         F  
There's enough of sad stories passed on down
                Dm                                      G                                      Em      DA  
Where old men weep and fishers' widows wail
          Dm                                      G                            F                              Em  
But Margaret and her maiden aunt only went to town
Dm                                                                      G  
Tides turn, the world turns 'round
C                                    Em  
Cape Spear, at Cape Spear
F                                      Em                              Dm                 G  
Still I ply the dusty highway, year on year
                  C                                              Em  
Out to Cape Spear, out to Cape Spear
F                                 Em                 Dm  
Time is but a face upon the water
F                                 Em                 Dm                      G         F         Em    Dm    G    F    C    Dm    G    C  
Time is but a face upon the wa-wa-wa-water
                                                Em                              F                          Dm  
These eyes hardly recognize the Southside
                                                     G                            Em      DA  Dm  
Margaret's house is gone, so is mine
                                                                  G                                                    F                 Em  
From where I'd watch the city glow, there's a seafood bistro
          Dm                                                                                                 G  
And Margaret's house is a school of hair design
                                     C                                                 Em                         F          Dm  
I say let the winds rush, let the waves wash away
                                        G                         Em                 DA  
One's bound to get ya one fine day
                             Dm                 G                            Em  
For we are all only dreaming, I swear
                     Dm                                                                         G  
Playing dangerous games of courage or dare
                             C                                    Em  
Playing at Cape Spear, at Cape Spear
F                                    Em                                      Dm              G  
These would be moments we would savour
C                            Em  
Cape Spear, Cape Spear
F                              Em                            Dm                 G  
We plied the dusty highway year on year
                                F                      Em  
Out to Cape Spear, to Cape Spear
F                                 Em                              Dm            G  
Time is but a face upon the water
F                                 Em                 Dm                      G         F         Em    Dm    G    F    C    Dm    G    C  
Time is but a face upon the wa-wa-wa-water
