Make & Break Harbour Stan Rogers
Intro: D Bm G A
D Bm G A
How still lies the bay in the light western airs,
Em G A
Which blow from the crimson hor- izon,
D D7 G A
Once more we tack home, with a dry empty hold,
Em G A
Saving gas , with the breezes so fair,
D Bm G A
She's a kindly Cape Islander, old but still sound,
Em G A
But so lost in the long liners shadow,
D D7 G A
Make and Break and make do, but the fish are so few,
Em G D
That she won't be re - placed should she founder.
D Bm G A
Now its so hard to not think, of before the big War,
Em G A
When the cod went so cheap, but so plenty,
D D7 G A
Foreign trawlers go by now, with long seeing eyes,
Em G A
Taking all where, we seldom take any, and
D Bm G A
The young folk don't stay, with the fisherman's ways
Em G A
Long a - go they all moved to the cities, and
D D7 G A
The ones left be - hind, old and tired and blind
A G D
Won't work for a pound, for a penny.
Chorus:
G A D Bm
In Make and Break Harbour the boats are so few,
Bm F#m G A
Too many are pulled-up and rotten.
D Bm G A
Most houses stand empty, old nets hung to dry,
G Em D
Are blown away, lost and for - gotten.
Break: 1st Verse Melody (Instrumental) D Bm G A Em G D
D Bm G A
Now I can see the big draggers that stirred up the bay,
Em G A
Leaving lobster traps smashed on the bottom, and
D D7 G A
They think it don't pay, to re - spect the old ways,
Em G A
That Make and Break men have not for - gotten.
D Bm G A
For we still keep our time, to the turn of the tide,
Em G A
In this boat, that I built, with my Father,
D D7 G A
Still lifts to the sky, the One-Lunger and I
Em G D
Still talk like old friends, on the water.
G A D Bm
In Make and Break Harbour the boats are so few,
Bm F#m G A
Too many are pulled-up and rotten.
D Bm G A
Most houses stand empty, old nets hung to dry,
G Em D
Are blown away, lost and for - gotten.
