C G Am F
Just to wake up in the morning to the quiet of the cove
C G C
And hear aunt Bessie talking to herself.
C G Am F
And to hear poor uncle John mumbling wishes too old now
C G C
It made me feel like everything was fine.
G Am F C
I was born down by the water, it's here I'm gonna stay
G Am F C
I've searched for all the reasons why I should go away.
G Am F
Course I haven't got the thirst for all those modern day toys
C G C
So I'll just take my chances with those saltwater joys.
C G Am F
Following the little brook, as it trickles to the shore
C G C
In the autumn winds the trees are flaming red.
C G Am F
Kicking leaves that fall around me, watching sunset paint the hills
C G C
It's all I'll never need to feel at home.
G Am F C
This island that we cling to has been handed down with pride
G Am F C
But folks that fought to live here, taking hardships all in stride.
G Am F
So I'll compliment her beauty, hold on to my good-byes
C G C
And I'll stay, take my chances with those saltwater joys.
C G Am F
How can I leave those mornings, with the sunrise on the cove
C G C
And the gulls like fly's surrounding Clayton's wharf.
C G Am F
Platters island wrapped in rainbow, in the evening after fog
C G C
The ocean smells are perfume to my soul.
G Am F C
Some go to where the buildings reach to meet the clouds
G Am F C
Where warm and gentile people turn to swarm and faceless crowds.
G Am C
So I'll do without their riches, Glamour and the noise
C G C
And I'll stay, take my chances with those saltwater joys.

G Am F C
Some go to where the buildings reach to meet the clouds

And I'll stay, take my chances with those saltwater joys
This is a real nice song if you play it right. You strum slow and soft to get the right tune.
