Cornwall My Home

E A E A E I’ve stood on Cape Cornwall in the sun’s evening glow, B7 On Chywoone Hill at Newlyn to watch the fishing fleets go, A E Watched the sheave wheels at Geevor as they spun around, B7 E A E And heard the men singing as they go underground, A E And no one will ever move me from this land, B7 Until the Lord calls me to sit at his hand, A E For this is my Eden, and I’m not alone, B7 E A For this is my Cornwall and this is my home, E A E I’ve left childish footsteps in the soft Sennen sand, B7 I’ve chased the maids there, all giggly and tanned, A E I’ve stood on the cliff top in a westerly blow, B7 E A E And heard the wave thunder on the rocks far below, A E And no one will ever move me from this land, B7 Until the Lord calls me to sit at his hand, A E For this is my Eden, and I’m not alone, B7 E A For this is my Cornwall and this is my home, E A E First thing in the morning, on Chapel Carn Brea, B7 To gaze at the Scillies in the blue far away, A E For this is my Cornwall, and I’ll tell you why, B7 E A E Because I was born here and here I shall die. A E And no one will ever move me from this land, B7 Until the Lord calls me to sit at his hand, A E For this is my Eden, and I’m not alone, B7 E A For this is my Cornwall and this is my home,
