Prince of Pictou Dave Gunning
INTRO: Em D C Em D C G Am C D
By the [G]lights of Pictou [C]Harbour[D]
A lonely [G]prince stands on the [C]shore[D]
Left be[G]hind across the [C]ocean[D]
To hide the [G]ways of George the [C]IV[D]
A lantern [G]flickers in the [C]hallway[D]
A clock burns [G]time from afar [C] [D]
Dressed to [G]kill but [C]dying fast inside[D]
He makes his [G]way down to the [C]bar[D]
He tells the [G]story of his [C]old life[D]
To a [G]wall of disbelief[C] [D]
He buys a [G]drink for the [C]girls of Creighton Street[D]
And spends the [G]fortune of a [C]King
CHORUS:
There are [Em]diamonds [C]buried in these [D]waters
There is [G]gold [C]hidden in the [D]hills
There are [Em]secrets that [C]lie beneath the [D]surface
Of an [Bm]unwelcome [Am]son, a [D9]forgotten [Em]Prince
INSTRUMENTAL: Em D C D ? D
He sits in [G]darkness at the [C]tavern[D]
And counts the [G]years away from [C]home
He lifts his [D]glass, makes a [Bm]toast from his [C]worn out barroom chair[D]
"Here's to [G]life upon the thron[C]e"[D]
BRIDGE:
Here's a toast to my [G]father
I [Am]wonder, does he ever drink to [G]me?
I [Bb]wonder, does he ever think of [Am]me?
INSTRUMENTAL:
The [D]cold of [G]January [C]took him[D]
At the [G]age of thirty?thre[C]e[D]
They carried him [Bm]up to the [C]top of Laurel Hill[D]
To let him [G]rest among the [C]trees[D]
And all the [G]politicians [C]gathered[D]
To pay the [G]mystery man his due[C]
And al[D]though they'd never [G]said "Hello", they've [C]come to say goodbye[D]
Just in [G]case the story's t[C]rue[D]
CHORUS:
There are [Em]diamonds [C]buried in these [D]waters
There is [G]gold [C]hidden in the [D]hills
There are [Em]secrets that [C]lie beneath the [D]surface
Of an [Bm]unwelcome [Am]son, a [D9]forgotten [Em]Prince
