Verse
                                     C               G 
Oh the morning sun it shines, on the harbour and the bays, 
        C                  G                Em    C 
And the fishing boats they rise against the waves, 
        G                   D              G 
Heading out once more their daily bread to make. 
 
Verse
                                      C             G 
As I stared out of the window, of our old two story home, 
         C            G              Em      C 
Like I'd done so many times before I  roamed, 
        G            D                 G 
Leaving behind every friendship that I own. 
 
Verse
                                        C                 G 
Now the road's a little rocky, but I'll make it somewhere new, 
        C                  G              Em  C 
And new friendships I will give, to oh so few, 
      G              D                G   G7 
Who remind me of old Newfoundland and you. 
 
Chorus
            C             G                Em 
So, come on home, come on home, to Newfoundland, 
          D                              G    G7 
Where the waters of the ocean, shape our land. 
        C                               G              Em 
Come on home to Newfoundland, greet the welcome if you can, 
       G              D                 G 
We can walk the rocky shoreline hand-in-hand. 
 
Verse
                                                C                  G 
As the old men who'll sit and tell you, of hard times in days gone by, 
            C              G                     Em         C 
And they'll tally up their stories, with now and then a lie, 
            G              D                  G 
They're the masters of the heartfelt words of joy. 
 
Verse
                                             C               G 
And of those friendly smiling faces, you can find in Newfoundland, 
       C                    G                 Em   C 
With a wink and nod they'll always shake your hand, 
            G               D                      G 
And through hard times they have always took their stand. 
 
Verse
                                    C                  G 
Oh I miss the island dearly, of her dirt roads and her shores, 
        C              G                 Em              C 
And the weather-beaten stages, where the fish was stored, 
         G                    D               G     G7 
And each small town had their own old general store. 
 
Chorus
            C             G                Em 
So, come on home, come on home, to Newfoundland, 
          D                              G    G7 
Where the waters of the ocean, shape our land. 
        C                               G              Em 
Come on home to Newfoundland, greet the welcome if you can, 
       G              D                 G 
We can walk the rocky shoreline hand-in-hand. 
 
Verse
                             C      G 
In the year of '97, it's our anniversary, 
          C                   G                Em  C 
It's five hundred years since Cabot sailed the sea, 
        G              D               G 
Began a history that's home to you and me. 
 
Verse
                                            C              G 
For some day I'm going back there, and then no more will I roam, 
       C                G                Em   C 
For no other place I've been, can I call home, 
           G          D                G    G7 
I long for family and friends I left behind. 
 
Chorus
            C             G                Em 
So, come on home, come on home, to Newfoundland, 
          D                              G    G7 
Where the waters of the ocean, shape our land. 
        C                               G              Em 
Come on home to Newfoundland, greet the welcome if you can, 
       G              D                 G    G7 
We can walk the rocky shoreline hand-in-hand. 
 
Outro
        C                               G              Em 
Come on home to Newfoundland, greet the welcome if you can, 
       G              D                 G 
We can walk the rocky shoreline hand-in-hand.
