Biography:
Stanley Allison Rogers (November 29, 1949 – June 2, 1983) was a Canadian folk musician and songwriter.
Rogers was noted for his rich, baritone voice and his traditional-sounding songs which were frequently inspired by Canadian history and the daily lives of working people, especially those from the fishing villages of the Maritime provinces and, later, the farms of the Canadian prairies and Great Lakes. Rogers died in a fire aboard Air Canada Flight 797 on the ground at the Greater Cincinnati Airport at the age of 33.

[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
Am G Am F G Am
It was in the spring this year of grace with new life pushing through
G C Em F G
That I looked from the Citadel down to the narrows and asked what it's coming to
Am G Am F D
I saw Upper Canadian concrete and glass right down to the water line
Bb6 Am
And I heard an old song down on Fisherman's Wharf
F G Am
Can I sing it just one time?
[Verse 2]
Am G Am F G Am
With half closed eyes against the sun, for the warm wind giving thanks,
G C Em F G
I dreamed of the years of the deep-laden schooners thrashing home from the Grand Banks
Am G Am F D
The last lies done in the harbour sun with her picture on a dime.
Bb6 Am
But I heard an old song down on Fisherman's Wharf
F G Am
Can I sing it, just one time?
F G Am
Can I sing it, just one time?
[Chorus]
G Dsus2 Csus2 Dsus2 Fsus2 Esus2 C Am
Then haul away and heave her home. This song is heard no more
Bb6 Am
No boats to sing it for
Bb6 Am
No sails to sing it for
G Dsus2 Csus2 Dsus2 Fsus2 Esus2 C Am
There rises now a single tide of tourists passing through
Bb6 Am
We traded old ways for the new
Bb6 Am
Old ways for the new
Bb6 Am
Old ways for the new
Bbsus2 Am
For the new
[Verse 3]
Am G Am F G Am
Now you ask "What's this Romantic boy who laments what's done and gone?
G C Em F G
There was no romance on a cold winter ocean and the gales sang an awful song
Am G Am F D
But my fathers knew of wind and tide and my blood is Maritime
Bb6 Am
And I heard an old song down on Fisherman's Wharf
F G Am
Can I sing it, just one time?
F G Am
Can I sing it, Just one time?
[Chorus]
G Dsus2 Csus2 Dsus2 Fsus2 Esus2 C Am
Then haul away and heave her home. This song is heard no more
Bb6 Am
No boats to sing it for
Bb6 Am
No sails to sing it for
G Dsus2 Csus2 Dsus2 Fsus2 Esus2 C Am
There rises now a single tide of tourists passing through
Bb6 Am
We traded old ways for the new
Bb6 Am
Old ways for the new
Bb6 Am
Old ways for the new
Bbsus2 Am
