Cape Shore Rose

D G D There's a winding road that leads to Cape St Marys, G On the Cape Shore, and sometimes I often dream, D Of a one-room school where we all went together, C G There were forty classmates, one a beauty queen. D G D The one I'm speaking of her name was Mary, G I remember my last year when school did close; D She's much prettier and just a little older, C G D To me she'll always be our Cape Shore Rose. G Mary's gone to heaven, there is no need to weep, G God touched her with His hand, D A she closed her eyes and went to sleep; D G So, goodbye Cape Shore Rose, D you're with God's angel, It won't matter now how G strong the north winds blow; The daisies they were spread D along the Cape Shore, A To remind us all of you, D our Cape Shore Rose. A D G D As the saying goes, your home is where your heart is, G Throughout the Cape Shore hills and the valleys 'neath the sky; D One night I dreamed I thought I heard her whisper, C G "God set my soul at liberty to fly." D G D She left this world in peace, her journey's over, G And from now on there'll be no future woe; D Mary is a flower we'll all remember, G D But Mary'll always be our Cape Shore Rose. G Mary's gone to heaven, D there is no need to weep, G God touched her with His hand, D A she closed her eyes and went to sleep; D G So, goodbye Cape Shore Rose, D you're with God's angel, It won't matter now how G strong the north winds blow; The daisies they were spread D along the Cape Shore, A To remind us all of you, D our Cape Shore Rose. A D Mary Manning Power is still our Cape Shore Rose.
