Free In The Harbour Stan Rogers
Well, it's / [G]Blackfish at play in / [C]Hermitage Bay,
From / [D]push through a[D7]cross to Bois / [G]Island. [C/D] (pronounced BWAS)
They / [G]broach and they spout, and they / [C]lift their flukes out, and
They / [Am]wave to a [A]town that is / [D]dyin'. [D7]
Now it's / [Em]many's the boats, that has / [C]plied on the foam,
[Am]Hauling a - way, / [C]Hauling a[D7]way!
But there's / [G]many more fellows, been / [C]leaving their [Am]homes,
Where the / [D]whales make [D7]free in the / [G]harbour.
It's at / [G]Portage and Main you'll / [C]see them again,
On their / [D]way to the [D7]hills of Al[G]berta. [C/D]
With / [G]lop-sided grins, they / [C]waggle their chins, and
They / [Am]brag of the [A]wage they'll be / [D]earnin'.[D7]
Then it's / [Em]quick, pull the string boys, and [C]get the / tool out,
[Am]Haul it a - way, / [C]Haul it a - [D]way!
But just / [G]two years a[G7]go, you could / [C]hear the same [Am]shout,
Where the / [D]whales make [D7]free in the / [G]harbour.
Chorus:
[Am]Free [C]in the / [D]Harbour; the / [C]Blackfish are [Am]sporting a - / [G]gain,
[Em]Free in the / Harbou[C]r; un - / [Am]troubled by comings and / [C]goings of [D]men,
Who / [G]once did pursue them as / [Em7]oil from the [G7]sea,
[C]Hauling away, / [A]Hauling a[A7]way!
Now they're / [G]Calgary roughnecks from / [Am]Hermitage [Am7]Bay,
Where the / [D]whales make [D7]free in the / [G]harbour.
Break:
Well, it's a / [G]living they've found, / [C]deep in the ground,
And if there's / [D]doubts, it's [D7]best they ig - / [G]nore them. [D7]
Nor / [G]think on the bones, the / [C]crosses and stones,
Of their / [Am]fathers that [A]came there be - / [D]fore them. [D7]
In the / [Em]taverns of Edmonton, / [C]fishermen shout,
[Am]Haul it a - way, / [C]Haul it a [D]way!
They left / [G]three hundred years buried / [C]up by the [Am]Bay,
Where the / [D]whales make [D7]free in the / [G]harbour.
Chorus:
[Am]Free[C] in the / [D]harbour...[D7]..a - / [G]gain.
