The Cutter Cifras

[Intro]
G D Em C D
 
[Verse 1]
            G                   D
When you arrived in Canada you walked the streets
        Em                   G       D
Out of work out of money, prospects bleak
         G                         D
Now the plane comes down from the morning sky
         Em                       C         D
and you touch the land where the fire won't die
 
[Chorus]
G               D
Johnny, you're home, man
        C
It's a long road
     Em       D
you drove us down
      G      D
It's only a moment
           C
Since the diesels turned
 
{Verse 2]
          G                           D
Now the blade cuts clean through the island soil
      Em                      G           D
The years roll back and the world grows small
       G                       D
You stand on the banks in the wind and the rain
     Em                      C          D
And all of your money can't hide this pain
 
[Chorus]
G               D
Johnny, you're home, man
        C
It's a long road
     Em       D
you drove us down
      G      D
It's only a moment
           C
Since the diesels turned
 
[Bridge]
Em                          C
The heath flame is burning bright
               Em
burning every night
                 G   D
It's winter in Ontario
Em                                 C
The wheels that turned us village kids
                         Em
Still carry through the heaths
                G        D
They no longer turn for you
 
[Verse 3]
        G                         D
So you hold your mother and you bless the air
          Em                      G            D
With the tears of the emigrant, tongue of the Gael
         G                    D
And the plane takes off in a clear blue sky
          Em                C        D
Life's a long lost list of last goodbyes
 
[Chorus]
G               D
Johnny, you're home, man
        C
It's a long road
     Em       D
you drove us down
      G      D
It's only a moment
           C
Since the diesels turned
G               D
Johnny, you're home, man
        C
It's a long road
     Em       D
you drove us down
      G      D
It's only a moment
           C
Since the diesels turned
 
[Outro]
