[Verse]
C# F# C# F#
On a fine summer's morning as we lay at the quay
C# D#m F# G#
The holds were filled high with the treasures of the sea
C# F# C# F#
So that they could be transported by men such as we
C# D#m7 G# C# G# G#/A#
To homeland and for Queen
[Verse]
G#/C C# F# C# F#
When the loading was done, we hoisted full sail
C# D#m F# G# G#/A#
Prayed for good winds to guide us and deliverance from gales
G#/C C# F# C# F#
And the thoughts of the crew turned to home and strong ale
C# G# F#
As we cast off the ropes and set sail
[Chorus]
G# C# F#
Fight for honour and for praise
G# C#
Sailed the sea throughout the days
G#/C A#m
In cold ground I'll never lay
F# G# A#m F# G# A#m
I'd rather die on the ocean
[Verse]
C# F# C# F#
Thirty days out to sea and the weather was fine
C# D#m F# G#
The wind that we'd prayed for and making good time
C# F# C# F#
The honour of first home was soon to be mine
C# D#m7 G# C# G#
To homeland and to Queen
[Verse]
C# F# C# F#
But the night became stormy and the wind changed our course
C# D#m F# G#
A# gale was a-blowing and the wind gathered force
C# F# C# F#
And I wondered if ever we'd reach our home port
C# G#/C F#
Or if we'd all be lost in the storm
[Chorus]
G# C# F#
Fight for honour and for praise
G# C#
Sailed the sea throughout the days
G#/C A#m
In cold ground I'll never lay
F# G# A#m F# G# A#m
I'd rather die on the ocean
[Verse]
C# F# C# F#
Well, the waves washed the deck, in the wind we were locked
C# D#m F# G#
I fought with the wheel to stay clear of the rocks
C# F# C# F#
But the fighting is in vain, in the storm we were lost
C# D#m7 G# C# G#
And our prayers blew away on the wind
[Verse]
C# F# C# F#
Well, I coughed and I choked and I tasted the sea
C# D#m F# G#
I looked over the sands, there was no one but me
C# F# C# F#
And I knew that the might of the sea had finished me
C# G#/C F#
And I wished that I'd drowned in the storm
[Chorus]
G# C# F#
Fight for honour and for praise
G# C#
Sailed the sea throughout the days
G#/C A#m
In cold ground I'll never lay
F# G# A#m
I'd rather die on the ocean
[Verse]
C# F# C# F#
And I've lived with the thought for the rest of m' days
C# D#m F# G#
That I'd given the lives of the crew just to pay
C# F# C# F#
In search of the garlands of honour and praise
C# G# F#
And I wish that I'd drowned in the storm
[Chorus]
G# C# F#
Fight for honour and for praise
G# C#
Sailed the sea throughout the days
G#/C A#m
In cold ground I'll never lay
F# G# A#m
I'd rather die on the ocean
[Chorus]
G# C# F#
Fight for honour and for praise
G# C#
Sailed the sea throughout the days
G#/C A#m
In cold ground I'll never lay
F# G# A#m F# G# A#m
I'd rather die on the ocean
