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