Gordon Bok – Mckeons Coming (Guitar)

                     F               C                             Bb
Now when the wind is bright with the spring and the snow has gone away

    C                      F        C       F                 G
The days grow long and the time has come to hoist my sail and go

         C                                   F               G
And I'll hear no more your dungeon door, nor eat your bitter beans

C                                           Bb     G     C       F    C
Surely it's a long and a hungry road 'til McKeon's home again

                    F       C                                  Bb
I'll go down by the Naskeag Sound where the tide runs fast and strong

    C                    F         C             F                   G
The water's deep and the hills are steep and the nights are cold and long

    C                                  F             G
And through the rocks of Jericho, I'll wind my weary way

    C                                    Bb            G  C       F    C
And roll her off for Sable, aye, and the grey seals of Fundy

                             F             C                               Bb
For the wind is fair and the tide's at the spring and the time has come to go

C                  F        C        F             G
Hoist my sail on a Northern wind and I'll be on my way

        C                                         F            G
Ah, but there's no one can go with me and there's no one by my side

C                                            Bb         G  C       F    C
Surely it's a long and a lonely road for the Straits of Canso

                             F             C                               Bb
Oh, the wind is fair and the tide's at the spring and the time has come to go

C                  F        C        F             G
Hoist my sail on a Northern wind and I'll be on my way

         C                                   F               G
And I'll hear no more your dungeon door, nor eat your bitter beans

C                                           Bb     G     C       F    C
Surely it's a long and a hungry road 'til McKeon's home again
