Am
It's early in the morning
G
When the birds sing in the pines;
Am F
The sun peeks through the forest
G Am
Where the cold river climbs.
Am
The men are up at five o'clock
G
And to the trees at six.
Am F
A hard day's work, a good night's sleep
G Am
Is all they ever mix.
[Chorus]
Am F C Dm
Way Hey, it’s another brand new day
Am F G Am
on the wild & windy shores of Old Super - i-ay
[Verse 2]
Am
From North Bay to Fort William
G
On the rocky northern shore,
Am F
The mills are filled with cedar pulp
G Am
And the boats are filled with ore.
Am
I worked in a logging camp,
G
My daddy did before
Am F
We're calloused hands and weathered skin
G Am
And iron to the core.
[Chorus]
Am F C Dm
Way Hey, it’s another brand new day
Am F G Am
on the wild & windy shores of Old Super - i-ay
[Verse 3]
Am
Now the flies are thick and the men get sick,
G
It's as cold as it can be,
Am F
And nothing's unexpected
G Am
In the north coun- ter- y.
Am
When the summer ends and the winter comes,
G
It's forty-two below;
Am F
We settle down in plywood shacks
G Am
And cover up with snow.
[Chorus]
Am F C Dm
Way Hey, it’s another brand new day
Am F G Am
on the wild & windy shores of Old Super - i-ay
[Verse 4]
Am
Now, when I die I will have seen
G
The wonders of the sea,
Am F
And I will have climbed the mountains
G Am
In the western coun-ter-y.
Am
But most of all I won't forget
G
The wild and wondrous thing,
Am F
The falling of the timber
G Am
When it's early in the spring.
[Chorus]
Am F C Dm
Way Hey, it’s another brand new day
Am F G Am
on the wild & windy shores of Old Super - i-ay
Am F C Dm
Way Hey, it’s another brand new day
Am F G Am
on the wild & windy shores of Old Super - i-ay
