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
