Rockin On The Water

• G

Capo 1

G C

C
I've been away, I gotta say
                            F
It isn't really working for me;

I've been all around about,
      C
I finally figured out,
  G              C
Nothing in life ever comes free.

So I paid my dues, and I sang the blues,
                         F
But it's not how it's gotta be;
                          C
I'm headin' back to the island,

Smell the salt air,
       G                C
And rekindle some old mysteries.

C                              F
Like when we were rockin' on water,
                         C
We were breathing fresh air;
                 G
In her daddy's leaky dory,

And I'm sticking to my story, sir,
                     C
That's why we were late.
                                 F
And I swear, out there on the ocean,
                      C
We didn't wanna be found;
                    G
We were rockin' on the water,
                                            C
Making things a little hotter back in Newfoundland.

Now its just this pattern for the rest of the song.

Every day it's all work and no play,
Just gotta get my piece of the pie;
Now that I realize it's just a big disguise,
It's all just pie in the sky.
I know what it means, I'm gonna follow my dreams,
Gonna pack my bags and then:
Head on back to the island,
On the ocean, back to those memories again.

Like when we were rockin' on water,
We were breathing fresh air;
In her daddy's leaky dory,
And I'm sticking to my story, sir,
That's why we were late.
And I swear, out there on the ocean,
We didn't wanna be found;
When we were rockin' on the water,
Making things a little hotter back in Newfoundland.

Like when we were rockin' on water,
We were breathing fresh air;
In her daddy's leaky dory,
And I'm sticking to my story, sir,
Why we were late.
And I swear, out there on the ocean,
We didn't wanna be found;
We were rockin' on the water,
Making things a little hotter back in Newfoundland.

We were rockin' on water, feelin' fancy and free,
We were living nice and easy;
It might sound a little cheesy,
But it's all right for me.
And I swear, out there on the ocean,
We didn't wanna be found;
We were rockin' on the water,
Making things a little hotter back in Newfoundland;
We were rockin' on the water,
Making things a little hotter back in Newfoundland.
