Acadian Driftwood

Key: FHard

Dm9

Ebmaj9

Gm7

C/G

Bb/D

F/C

Dm7

TheF war was over and the spiritC9 was broken

Dm9 The hills were sEbmaj9mokin' as the meGm7n withdrew

F We stood on the cliffs

OC/Gh, and watched tA9he ships

Bb Slowly sinking to their Gm7rendezvous

F They signed a treaty and our C9 homes were taken

Dm9 Loved ones Ebmaj9forsaken

They didn't Gm7give a damn

F Try'n' to raise a family

C/G End up A9the enemy

Bb Over what went down on the plains of Gm7Abraham (*)

F AcadianBb driftwood

Gm7 Gypsy tC7ail wind

Bb/D They call myF/C home Bb the land of Gm7snow

F Canadian cBbold front Gm7 movin' C7in

Bb/D What a waF/Cy to ride

Bb Dm7Oh, Awhat a Gm7way C7to Fgo

Then some returned to the motherland

The high command had them cast away

And some stayed on to finish what they started

They never parted

They're just built that way

We had kin livin' south of the border

They're a little older and they've been around

They wrote a letter life is a whole lot better

So pull up your stakes, children and come on down

Fifteen under zero when the day became a threat

My clothes were wet and I was drenched to the bone

Been out ice fishing, too much repetition

Make a man wanna leave the only home he's known

Sailing out of the gulf headin' for Saint Pierre

Nothin' to declare

All we had was gone

Broke down along the coast

But what hurt the most

When the people there said

"You better keep movin' on"

Everlasting summer filled with ill-content

This government had us walkin' in chains

This isn't my turf

This ain't my season

Can't think of one good reason to remain

I've worked in the sugar fields up from New Orleans

It was ever green up until the floods

You could call it an omen

Points ya where you're goin'

Set my compass north

I got winter in my blood

Acadian driftwood

Gypsy tail wind

They call my home the land of snow

Canadian cold front movin' in

What a way to ride

Ah, what a way to go

F Sais tu,C7sus4 A-ca-diC7-e Bb/D j'ai le mGm7al du pays

You know, Acadia, I long for the country (I am homesick)

F Ta neige,C7sus4 AcadieC7, Bb/D fait des Gm7larmes au soleil

Your snow, Acadia, makes tears in the sun (or for the sun)

F J'arrC7sus4ive AcadC7ie, Bb/D teedle um, Gm7teedle um, teedle ooh

I am arriving Acadia (or I am coming Acadia)

(*): "The Plains of Abraham" refer to farm land owned by Abraham Martin just west of the The Citadel in Quebec City and the site of the battle between the French and the English. It is now a park (also overlooks the St.Lawrence) and is a wonderful place to visit if you ever get the chance.

Southern Cross

Key: AMedium

HighA and lonesomA7e out on TimeDs Square A

Haven't got a A7dime, ain't gDot a Aprayer

Deliver us, A7Lord, from this Dgolden Acalf

People only A7want what they Dcannot Ahave

D#o7

Forbidden fruit

That's the Dfruit that you'd Ebetter not Ataste D

A Forbidden D#fruit

You've got one Dlife that you'd Ebetter not Awaste D

A How can I A7walk with this Dball and Achain?

How can I A7land in this DhurricAane?

Or is this A7part of man's DevoluAtion

To be A7torn between Dtruth and illuAsion?

D#o7

Forbidden fruit

That's the Droute that you'd Ebetter not Atake D

A Forbidden fD#ruit

Just watch Dout for the Esign of the Asnake

Little brother got caught in the web

He ran off to join the living dead

Been through the mill, seen the cross on the hill

He sold his soul just for a thrill

Forbidden fruit

In hot pursuit out on a limb

Forbidden fruit

Your whole world is closing in

You got the picture but missed the drift

About me workin' the graveyard shift

I never went in for no burglary

But there's a stranger inside of me

Forbidden fruit

Don't you shoot the whole works away

Forbidden fruit

It's too high of a price to pay

How can you hear with a bad connection?

You can't see when there's no reception

Keep your distance, don't fool with taboo

'Cause it'll overtake and undertake you

Forbidden fruit

That's the fruit that you'd better not taste

Forbidden fruit

You've got one life that you'd better not waste
