Cliffs of Baccalieu 4/4 Stan Rogers
D
We were / bound home in Oct - / ober,
A D
From the / shores of Labra - / dor,
G A
Trying to / head a strong Nor?- / easter and
D
snow / too,
D
But the / wind swept down up- / on us, and
A D
The / day was dark as / night,
G
Just be - / fore we made,
A D
The / land at Bacca - / lieu,
D
Now we / tried to clear the / island,
A D
As we / brought her further / south,
G
But the / wind from up,
A D
The / Nor?east stronger / blew,
D
Till our lookout soon he / shouted, and
A D
There lay dead a - / head,
G
Though a / snow squall,
A D
Loomed the / Rocks at Bacca - / lieu
D
But it was / hard down by the / tiller,
A D
As we / struggled with the / sheets,
G A D
Tryin? our / best ?to haul ?em / in a foot or / two,
D
Till our / decks so sharply / tilted,
A D
We could / barely keep our / feet,
G
As we / struggled,
A D
On the / Rocks at Bacca - / lieu.
D
Now the / combers beat her / under, and
A D
I / thought she?d never / rise, and
G A D
Her / main boom, it was / bending nigh in / two,
D
With her / lee rails two foot / under,
A D
Three / hands upon the / wheel,
G
Sure we / hauled her,
A D
From the / Rocks at Bacca - / lieu.
Break: One verse Instrumental with
Fiddle
D
To / leeward was the / island,
A D
To / leeward was the / shore, and
G
That / blinding sleet could,
A D
Cut you through and / through,
D
But our / hearts were beating / gladly,
A D
For no / longer could we / gaze,
G
Down to / leeward,
A D
At the / Rocks of Bacca - / lieu,
G
Down to / leeward,
A D
At the / Rocks of Bacca - / lieu,
G A D
