G D G C
Late spring the leaves have turned green,
G Em D
And there's sheep on the hill side, there's birds on the wing
G D C G
Over my shoulder the last time I'm seeing,
D C G
The old home all weathered and grey
G D G C
We talked till three, my father and me,
G Em D
And the fiddle tunes flowed like the pure Margaree,
G D C G
"Never forget who you are,son", said he
D C G
As I followed my brothers away

CHORUS:

Em
And I'm heading for Halifax to see what's to spare,

In the way of some work and if there's nothing there,
Em
It's Toronto, Out west, to God only knows where,
C G D
But there's bound to be friends from back home

G D G C
One thing I know, wherever I go,
G Em D
My heart's in Cape Breton it will always be so
G D C G
Whenever the fiddler he rosens his bow,
D C G
My first and last thoughts are of home

Cho
