Prince Of Pictou chords

INTRO: [Em] [D] [C] [Em] [D] [C] [G] [Am] [C] [D]

By the [G]lights of Pictou [C]Harbour [D]
A lonely [G]prince stands on the [C]shore [D]
Left be[G]hind across the [C]ocean [D]
To hide the [G]ways of George the [C]IV [D]

A lantern [G]flickers in the [C]hallway [D]
A clock burns [G]time from afar [C] [D]
Dressed to [G]kill but [C]dying fast inside [D]
He makes his [G]way down to the [C]bar [D]

He tells the [G]story of his [C]old life [D]
To a [G]wall of disbelief[C] [D]
He buys a [G]drink for the [C]girls of Creighton Street [D]
And spends the [G]fortune of a [C]King

[CHORUS]
There are [Em]diamonds [C]buried in these [D]waters
There is [G]gold [C]hidden in the [D]hills
There are [Em]secrets that [C]lie beneath the [D]surface
Of an [Bm]unwelcome [Am]son, a [D9]forgotten [Em]Prince

INSTRUMENTAL: [Em] [D] [C] [D] ? [D]

He sits in [G]darkness at the [C]tavern [D]
And counts the [G]years away from [C]home
He lifts his [D]glass, makes a [Bm]toast from his [C]worn out barroom chair [D]
"Here's to [G]life upon the thron[C]e" [D]

[BRIDGE]
Here's a toast to my [G]father
I [Am]wonder, does he ever drink to [G]me?
I [Bb]wonder, does he ever think of [Am]me?

[INSTRUMENTAL]

The [D]cold of [G]January [C]took him [D]
At the [G]age of thirty-thre[C]e [D]
They carried him [Bm]up to the [C]top of Laurel Hill [D]
To let him [G]rest among the [C]trees [D]

And all the [G]politicians [C]gathered [D]
To pay the [G]mystery man his due[C]
And al[D]though they'd never [G]said "Hello", they've [C]come to say goodbye [D]
Just in [G]case the story's t[C]rue [D]

[CHORUS]
There are [Em]diamonds [C]buried in these [D]waters
There is [G]gold [C]hidden in the [D]hills
There are [Em]secrets that [C]lie beneath the [D]surface
Of an [Bm]unwelcome [Am]son, a [D9]forgotten [Em]Prince
