[Verse 1]
A# D#
I'm standing here all by my strand,
A#
watch the waves roll on the sand,
D#
The sea breeze bouncing off the land
F
blows dirt into my eyes;
A# D#
I mind when we were active lads,
A#
in fishing boats went with our dads,
D# F A#
To do what work we had when we was boys.
F D#
We'd go to sea in dories,
A# F
we'd go to sea in skiffs,
D#
Set lobster pots in spring,
A# D#
shoot autumn seabirds off the cliffs;
A# D#
And if the times got tougher,
A# D#
what's the point of making noise,
A# D# F A#
Oh, how hard did we work when we was boys.
[Chorus]
A# F D# A#
When we was boys, when we was boys;
D# F A#
Oh, how hard did we work when we was boys.
[Interlude]
A# F D# A#
[Verse 2]
A# D#
From water would our living take,
A#
the women all the fish would make,
D#
Spread them out upon the flake,
F
and hope for sunny skies;
A# D#
Leave early on a foggy morn,
A#
Work until you're weary worn,
D#
Steer your way home by the horn,
F A#
when we was boys.
F D#
Where a crowd of youngsters climb
A# F
around the rocks upon the beach,
D#
Where now the boats lie idle
A# D#
and the fish are out of reach;
A# D#
Look down upon the harbour
A# D#
when you go out on the rise,
A# D# F A#
It looks nothing like it did when we was boys.
[Chorus]
A# F D# A#
When we was boys, when we was boys;
D# F A#
It looks nothing like it did when we was boys.

[Verse 3]
A# D#
The ocean's now a barren gray,
A#
we've lost our old-fashion ways,
D#
Folks are moving from the bay,
F
it's a thing I did despise;
A# D#
We who stay live with the fear
A#
of growing older every year,
D#
We prayed our children would stay near,
F A#
just like when we was boys.
F D#
We never had much money
A# F
but we got by all the same,
D#
We never begged for handouts,
A# D#
we weren't looking to lay blame;
A# D#
We practiced self-reliance,
A# D#
hailed to each other's cries,
A# D#
But times have changed so much
F A#
since we was boys.
[Chorus]
A# F D# A#
Since we was boys, since we was boys;
D#
Yes, times have changed so much
F A#
since we was boys.
[Interlude]
A# F D# A#
[Verse 4]
A# D#
Today we look to government
A#
instead of being independent,
A# D#
Now the money's all been spent,
F
we've witnessed its demise;
A# D#
There's times we've been through thick and thin,
A#
been knocked down got up again,
A# D#
We always found a way to win,
F A#
when we was boys.
F D#
Now the foghorn sends a lonely call
A# F
on its way across the swell,
D#
The lighthouse keeper's been replaced
A# D#
with a flashlight on the hill;
A# D#
Who was it said that elders
A# D#
are experienced and wise,
A# D# F A#
No one wants to hear about when we was boys.
[Chorus]
A# F D# A#
When we was boys, when we was boys;
D# F A#
No one wants to hear about when we was boys.
A# F D# A#
When we was boys, when we was boys;
D#
Yes, times have changed so much
F A#
since we was boys.
