[Verse]
D G D G
On a fine summer's morning as we lay at the quay
D Em G A
The holds were filled high with the treasures of the sea
D G D G
So that they could be transported by men such as we
D Em7 A D A A/B
To homeland and for Queen
[Verse]
A/C# D G D G
When the loading was done, we hoisted full sail
D Em G A A/B
Prayed for good winds to guide us and deliverance from gales
A/C# D G D G
And the thoughts of the crew turned to home and strong ale
D A G
As we cast off the ropes and set sail
[Chorus]
A D G
Fight for honour and for praise
A D
Sailed the sea throughout the days
A/C# Bm
In cold ground I'll never lay
G A Bm G A Bm
I'd rather die on the ocean
[Verse]
D G D G
Thirty days out to sea and the weather was fine
D Em G A
The wind that we'd prayed for and making good time
D G D G
The honour of first home was soon to be mine
D Em7 A D A
To homeland and to Queen
[Verse]
D G D G
But the night became stormy and the wind changed our course
D Em G A
B gale was a-blowing and the wind gathered force
D G D G
And I wondered if ever we'd reach our home port
D A/C# G
Or if we'd all be lost in the storm
[Chorus]
A D G
Fight for honour and for praise
A D
Sailed the sea throughout the days
A/C# Bm
In cold ground I'll never lay
G A Bm G A Bm
I'd rather die on the ocean
[Verse]
D G D G
Well, the waves washed the deck, in the wind we were locked
D Em G A
I fought with the wheel to stay clear of the rocks
D G D G
But the fighting is in vain, in the storm we were lost
D Em7 A D A
And our prayers blew away on the wind
[Verse]
D G D G
Well, I coughed and I choked and I tasted the sea
D Em G A
I looked over the sands, there was no one but me
D G D G
And I knew that the might of the sea had finished me
D A/C# G
And I wished that I'd drowned in the storm
[Chorus]
A D G
Fight for honour and for praise
A D
Sailed the sea throughout the days
A/C# Bm
In cold ground I'll never lay
G A Bm
I'd rather die on the ocean
[Verse]
D G D G
And I've lived with the thought for the rest of m' days
D Em G A
That I'd given the lives of the crew just to pay
D G D G
In search of the garlands of honour and praise
D A G
And I wish that I'd drowned in the storm
[Chorus]
A D G
Fight for honour and for praise
A D
Sailed the sea throughout the days
A/C# Bm
In cold ground I'll never lay
G A Bm
I'd rather die on the ocean
[Chorus]
A D G
Fight for honour and for praise
A D
Sailed the sea throughout the days
A/C# Bm
In cold ground I'll never lay
G A Bm G A Bm
I'd rather die on the ocean
