MAKE & BREAK HARBOUR Stan Rogers
How [D]still lies the [Bm]bay, in the [G]light western [A]airs Which [Em]blow from the [G]crimson ho[A]rizon
Once [D]more we tack [D7]home, with a [G]dry empty [A]hold Saving [Em]gas with the [G]breezes so [A]fair
She's a [D]kindly cape [Bm]islander, [G]old but still [A]sound But so [Em]lost in the [G]longliners [A]shadow
Make and [D]Break and make [D7]do, but the [G]fish are so [A]few That she [Em]won't be re[G]placed should she [A]founder
Verse II:
Now its so [D]hard to not [Bm]think of be[G]fore the big [A]war When the [Em]cod went so [G]cheap, but so [A]plenty
Foreign [D]trawlers go [D7]by now with [G]long seeking [A]eyes Taking [Em]all where we [G]seldom take [A]any
And the [D]young folk don't [Bm]stay with the [G]fisherman's [A]ways Long a[Em]go they all [G]moved to the [A]cities
And the [D]ones left be[D7]hind old and [G]tired and [A]blind Won't [Em]work for "a [G]pound, for a [A]penny".
Chorus:
In [G]Make and Break [A]Harbour the [D]boats are so few
Too [Bm]many are [A]hauled up and [G]rotten.[A]
Most [D]houses stand [Bm]empty old [D]nets hung to [G]dry
Are [A]blown away [G]lost and [D]forgotten
Verse III
Now I can [D]see the big [Bm]draggers have [G]stirred up the [A]bay Leaving [Em]lobster traps [G]smashed on the [A]bottom
And they [D]think it don't [D7]pay to re[G]spect the old [A]ways That [Em]Make and Break [G]men have not [A]forgotten
For we [D]still keep our [Bm]time to the [G]turn of the [A]tide And this [Em]boat that I [G]built with my [A]father
Still [D]lifts to the [D7]sky, the one [G]lunger and [A]I Still [Em]talk like old [G]friends on the [A]water
Repeat Chorus Twice
