Biography:
Shanneyganock are one of Newfoundland’s most identifiable bands. They've been a fixture in the local and traditional scene for almost a decade.
Shanneyganock was never really like any other band on the Atlantic scene: they don't make videos or dress in Queen St. fashions, they don't have a light show, and they don't worry about their 'image'.
They are big, burly men who know the meaning of hard work and the power of music to transcend all trouble.

Rocking On the Ocean- Shanneyganock
C G C
C
I've been away, I gotta say
G
It isn't really working for me
I've been all around about
I finally figured out
C
Nothing in life ever comes free
So I paid my dues, and I sang the blues
F
But it's not how it's gonna be
I'm headin' back to the island
C
Smell the salt air
G C
And rekindle some old mysteries
---------
C F
Like when we were rockin' on water
C
We were breathing fresh air
G
In her daddy's leaky dory
And I'm sticking to my story, sir
C
That's why we were late
F
Out there on the ocean
C
We didn't wanna be found
G
We were rockin' on the water
C
Making things a little hotter back in Newfoundland
----------
G C
Every day it's all work and no play
G
Just gotta get my piece of the pie
Now that I realize it's just a big disguise
C
It's all just pie in the sky
I know what it means, I'm gonna follow my dreams
F
Gonna pack my bags and then
Head on back to the island
C G C
On the ocean, back to those memories again
----------

Like when we were rockin' on water

Out there on the ocean
C
We didn't wanna be found

We were rockin' on the water

We were rockin' on water, feelin' fancy and free
We were living nice and easy
It might sound a little cheesy
