[Verse]
A# D# A# D#
On a fine summer's morning as we lay at the quay
A# Cm D# F
The holds were filled high with the treasures of the sea
A# D# A# D#
So that they could be transported by men such as we
A# Cm7 F A# F F/G
To homeland and for Queen
[Verse]
F/A A# D# A# D#
When the loading was done, we hoisted full sail
A# Cm D# F F/G
Prayed for good winds to guide us and deliverance from gales
F/A A# D# A# D#
And the thoughts of the crew turned to home and strong ale
A# F D#
As we cast off the ropes and set sail
[Chorus]
F A# D#
Fight for honour and for praise
F A#
Sailed the sea throughout the days
F/A Gm
In cold ground I'll never lay
D# F Gm D# F Gm
I'd rather die on the ocean
[Verse]
A# D# A# D#
Thirty days out to sea and the weather was fine
A# Cm D# F
The wind that we'd prayed for and making good time
A# D# A# D#
The honour of first home was soon to be mine
A# Cm7 F A# F
To homeland and to Queen
[Verse]
A# D# A# D#
But the night became stormy and the wind changed our course
A# Cm D# F
G gale was a-blowing and the wind gathered force
A# D# A# D#
And I wondered if ever we'd reach our home port
A# F/A D#
Or if we'd all be lost in the storm
[Chorus]
F A# D#
Fight for honour and for praise
F A#
Sailed the sea throughout the days
F/A Gm
In cold ground I'll never lay
D# F Gm D# F Gm
I'd rather die on the ocean
[Verse]
A# D# A# D#
Well, the waves washed the deck, in the wind we were locked
A# Cm D# F
I fought with the wheel to stay clear of the rocks
A# D# A# D#
But the fighting is in vain, in the storm we were lost
A# Cm7 F A# F
And our prayers blew away on the wind
[Verse]
A# D# A# D#
Well, I coughed and I choked and I tasted the sea
A# Cm D# F
I looked over the sands, there was no one but me
A# D# A# D#
And I knew that the might of the sea had finished me
A# F/A D#
And I wished that I'd drowned in the storm
[Chorus]
F A# D#
Fight for honour and for praise
F A#
Sailed the sea throughout the days
F/A Gm
In cold ground I'll never lay
D# F Gm
I'd rather die on the ocean
[Verse]
A# D# A# D#
And I've lived with the thought for the rest of m' days
A# Cm D# F
That I'd given the lives of the crew just to pay
A# D# A# D#
In search of the garlands of honour and praise
A# F D#
And I wish that I'd drowned in the storm
[Chorus]
F A# D#
Fight for honour and for praise
F A#
Sailed the sea throughout the days
F/A Gm
In cold ground I'll never lay
D# F Gm
I'd rather die on the ocean
[Chorus]
F A# D#
Fight for honour and for praise
F A#
Sailed the sea throughout the days
F/A Gm
In cold ground I'll never lay
D# F Gm D# F Gm
I'd rather die on the ocean
