Great Big Sea - French Shore
[D]When I was a young man, [A]just barely 1[D]4
[G]Craving adventure a[D]nd[Dsus2] lore[D]
[G]I boarded a clipper me d[A]ad was a[Bm] skipper
[Em]and sailed it along the [A]French shore [D]ya,
[Em7]we sailed all alo[A]ng the Fren[D]ch[Dsus2] shore[D]
What beautiful vessels were sailing back then
All bound for the north Labrador
And So for that reason they came here that season
To sail all along the French shore ya
To sail all along the French shore
On each ship a maiden was hired to cook
A beautiful girl to adore so young and cavorting
All ready for courting while sailing along the French shore ya,
While sailing along the French shore
Being too young for courting I soon did decide
To spy on the lovers on shore I spied on a couple
So loving and supple, while sailing along the French shore ya,
While sailing along the French shore
[D]Their actions peculiar a[A]ppeared to me th[D]en
[G]but now they're not funny no m[D]or[D]e
[G]they were huggin and kissin[A]' oh what ive been miss[Bm]in,
[Em]while sailing along[A] the French shore y[D]a,
Em7 A Bm G(or D)
[Em7]while sailing[A] along, sail[D]in[Dsus2]g alon[D]g, while sailing along the French shore
That couple has children now married I know
You see they're not young anymore
Yet still they don't know how I witnessed the show
That they played all along the French shore ya,
That they played all along the French shore
[D]And that ends the s[A]tory of my bonnie[D] days
[G]Oh, that I could live them onc[D]e [Dsus2]more[D]
G (Strum once)
and this much I know I'd produce my own show,
and I'd s[Em]tage it along the French [A]shore y[D]a,
Em A Bm G (or D)
While sailin along, sailin along,
Em7 A Bm G (or D)
While sailin along, sailing along,
Em7 (or Em) A D
While sailin along the French shore
