{D} When the sun came up this morning, it {G} found me eastward bound,

Finally {A} taking everything I could, of the city, life I've {D} found,

So I'm heading back to places, that I {G} couldn't wait to leave,

Cause city {A} life's no kind of life, for a down east boy like {D} me.

 

{D} I travelled west to Edmonton, been {G} south to New Orleans,

And the folks back {A}home, would not believe, some places, I have 

{D} seen,

I spent sometime in Montreal, but {G} alone there, on the street,

Cause city {A} life's no kind of life, for a down east boy like {D} me.

 

{Chorus:}  

{D} I need to feel the green grass, {G} growing underneath my feet, 

I need to {A} watch the sunset, as I walk along the {D} beach,

I need to feel the morning breeze, when it {G} blows in from the sea,

A city {A} life's no kind of life, for a down east boy like {D} me.

 

{Music:}

 

{D} When the sun goes down on my hometown, I'll be {G} only miles away,

I swear this {A} time when I get back, that's where {D}I'm gonna stay,

Tomorrow you will find me, in my home {G} down by the sea,

Cause city's {A} life's no kind of life, for a down east boy like {D} me.

 

{Chorus:} Including next line at the end. 

 

Those {G} city lights they {A} shine too bright, for a down east boy like {D} me.
