Standard Tuning Waltz Tempo 1 2+3+ or 1+2+3+
Well, it's Blackfish at play in Hermitage Bay,
D GFrom push through across to Bois Island. (pronounced BWAS)
GThey broach and they spout, and
They lift their flukes out, and
A DThey wave to a town that is dyin'.
G CNow it's many's the boats, that has plied on the foam,
Hauling a - way, Hauling a - way!
G CBut there's many more fellows, been leaving their homes,
D GWhere the whales make free in the harbour.
G C
It's at Portage and Main you'll see them again,
On their way to the hills of Al - berta.
G CWith lop-side grins, they waggle their chins, and
A DThey brag of the wage they'll be earnin'.
Then it's quick, pull the string boys, and
CGet the tool out,
C C - DHaul it a - way, Haul it a - way!
But just two years ago, you could hear the same shout,
D GWhere the whales make free in the harbour.
Chorus
G D G D
Free in the Harbour; the Blackfish are sporting a - gain,
Free in the Harbour; un - troubled by comings and goings of men,
G CWho once did pursue them as oil from the sea,
C C - DHauling a - way, Hauling a - way!
Now they're Calgary roughnecks from Hermitage Bay,
D GWhere the whales make free in the harbour.
Break:
G C
Well, it's a living they've found, deep in the ground, and
If there's doubts, it's best they ig - nore them.
G CNor think on the bones, the crosses and stones,
A DOf their fathers that came there be - fore them.
In the taverns of Edmonton, fishermen shout,
C C - DHaul it a - way, Haul it a - way!
G CThey left three hundred years buried up by the Bay,
Where the whales make free in the harbour.
G C G
Free in the harbour...a - gain.
