[VERSE 1]
It's [Bm]early in the morning
When the [Am]birds sing in the pines;
The [Bm]sun peeks through the forest
Where the [D]cold [Am]river c[Bm]limbs.
The [Bm]men are up at five o'clock
And t[Am]o the trees at six.
A ha[B]rd day's work, a good night's sleep
Is a[D]ll they e[A]ver m[B]ix.

[CHORUS]
[Bsus]Wey H[B]ey, its [D]another brand new [A]day
on the [Asus]wild & windy [A]shores of [D]Old [A]Super - i[B] -a
[Bsus]Wey H[B]ey, its [D]another brand new [A]day
on the [Asus]wild & windy [A]shores of [D]Old [A]Super - i[B] -a

[VERSE 2]
From [B]North Bay to Fort William
On the r[A]ocky northern shore,
The [B]mills are filled with cedar pulp
And the [D]boats are [A]filled with [B]ore.
I [B]worked in a logging camp,
My d[A]addy did before
We're c[B]alloused hands and weathered skin
And [D]iron [A]to the [B]core.

[CHORUS]
[Bsus]Wey H[B]ey, its [D]another brand new [A]day
on the [Asus]wild & windy [A]shores of [D]Old [A]Super - i[B] -a
[Bsus]Wey H[B]ey, its [D]another brand new [A]day
on the [Asus]wild & windy [A]shores of [D]Old [A]Super - i[B] -a

[VERSE 3]
Now the [B]flies are thick and the men get sick,
It's as [A]cold as it can be,
And [B]nothing's unexpected
In the [D]north [A]coun- ter- [B]y.
When the [B]summer ends and the winter comes,
It's [A]forty-two below;
We [B]settle down in plywood shacks
And c[D]over u[A]p with s[B]now.

[CHORUS]
[Bsus]Wey H[B]ey, its [D]another brand new [A]day
on the [Asus]wild & windy [A]shores of [D]Old [A]Super - i[B] -a
[Bsus]Wey H[B]ey, its [D]another brand new [A]day
on the [Asus]wild & windy [A]shores of [D]Old [A]Super - i[B] -a

[VERSE 4]
Now, [B]when I die I will have seen
The [A]wonders of the sea,
And I [B]will have climbed the mountains
In the [D]western [A]coun-ter-[B]y.
But [B]most of all I won't forget
The [A]wild and wondrous thing,
The [B]falling of the timber
When it's e[D]arly i[A]n the s[B]pring.

[CHORUS]
[Bsus]Wey H[B]ey, its [D]another brand new [A]day
on the [Asus]wild & windy [A]shores of [D]Old [A]Super - i[B] -a
[Bsus]Wey H[B]ey, its [D]another brand new [A]day
on the [Asus]wild & windy [A]shores of [D]Old [A]Super - i[B] -a
