G

[Verse 1]
---------------------
D G        G                  D           Em               C
   Just to wake up in the morning, to the quiet of the cove
       G                    D             G
And/to hear Aunt Bessie talking to herself
                            D         Em                C
And to hear poor Uncle John, mumbling wishes to old Nell
   G                 D              G
It made me feel like everything was fine

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
      D                Em          C                  G
I was born down by the water, it's here I'm gonna stay
     D                    Em          C               G
I've searched for all the reasons why I should go away
                            D             Em           C
But I haven't got the thirst for all those  modern day toys
  G                                    D              G
So I'll just take my chances with those saltwater joys

[Verse 2]
---------------------
G                         D      Em                   C
Following the little brook as it trickles to the shore
       G               D                    G
In the autumn when the trees are flaming red
                               D
Kicking leaves that fall around me
         Em                     C
Watching sunsets paint the hills
       G                 D               G
That's all I'll ever need to feel at home

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
       D            Em                C                G
This island that we cling to has been handed down with pride
   D                    Em                C                G
By folks that fought to live here, taking hardships all in stride
                           D        Em               C
So I'll compliment her beauty, hold on to my goodbyes
         G                                  D              G
And I'll stay and take my chances with those saltwater joys

[Verse 3]

Cmaj7 G/B G Cmaj7 G/B G    G                 D                 Em                 C
                       How can I leave those mornings with the sunrise on the cove
        G                   D                       G
And the gulls like flies surrounding Clayton's wharf
                                D          Em               C
Platter's Island wrapped in rainbow in the evening after fog
    G                D             G
The ocean smells are perfume to my soul

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
     D               Em        C                       G
Some go to where the buildings reach to meet the clouds
      D                  Em               C             G
Where warm and gentle people turn to swarmin', faceless crowds
                         D       Em                   C
So I'll do without their riches, glamour and the noise
         G                                  D              G
And I'll stay and take my chances with those saltwater joys
     D               Em        C                       G
Some go to where the buildings reach to meet the clouds
      D                  Em               C             G
Where warm and gentle people turn to swarmin', faceless crowds
                         D       Em                   C
So I'll do without their riches, glamour and the noise
         G                                  D              G
And I'll stay and take my chances with those saltwater joys
