Stompin Tom Connors - The Man In The Moon Is A Newfie guitar chord

By: Stompin Tom Connors

Song: The Man n The Moon is a Newfie

Chorus:

(D)You might think it's (G)goofy

But the (A7)man in the moon is a (D)Newfie

And he's sailing on to (G)glory, a(A7)way in the golden (D)dory

He's sailing on to (G)glory, a(A7)way in the golden (D)dory

Codfish Dan, from Newfoundland

He (A)dreamt that he had three (D)wishes

And he took Mars and all the stars

And (A)turned them into big (D)fishes

He said the sky was much too dry

And he (A)made a wavy (D)motion

And the moon like a boat began to float

Up(A)on the starry (D)ocean

Chorus

One night he strayed to the Milky Way

To (A)cast his nets up(D)on it

He spied the tail of a great big whale

And he (A)harpooned Halley's (D)Comet

He never had a pot for the fish that he caught

So he (A)had to use the Big (D)Dipper

And the sun, by jove, was a very good stove

For (A)cooking up smelts and (D)kippers

Chorus

Now, the Northern Light that seem so bright

Like (A)nothing could be (D)grander

Well, they're just waves of the moon-boat made

By the (A)Newfoundland com(D)mander

And don't you sigh and say, "Oh, my

What (A)gross exagger(D)ation!"

'Cause he'll tell you the dream was true

When (A)Codfish Dan a(D)wakens.

Chorus
