[Verse]
A D A D
On a fine summer's morning as we lay at the quay
A Bm D E
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 Bm7 E A E E/F#
To homeland and for Queen
[Verse]
E/G# A D A D
When the loading was done, we hoisted full sail
A Bm D E E/F#
Prayed for good winds to guide us and deliverance from gales
E/G# A D A D
And the thoughts of the crew turned to home and strong ale
A E D
As we cast off the ropes and set sail
[Chorus]
E A D
Fight for honour and for praise
E A
Sailed the sea throughout the days
E/G# F#m
In cold ground I'll never lay
D E F#m D E F#m
I'd rather die on the ocean
[Verse]
A D A D
Thirty days out to sea and the weather was fine
A Bm D E
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 Bm7 E A E
To homeland and to Queen
[Verse]
A D A D
But the night became stormy and the wind changed our course
A Bm D E
F# 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 E/G# D
Or if we'd all be lost in the storm
[Chorus]
E A D
Fight for honour and for praise
E A
Sailed the sea throughout the days
E/G# F#m
In cold ground I'll never lay
D E F#m D E F#m
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 Bm D E
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 Bm7 E A E
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 Bm D E
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 E/G# D
And I wished that I'd drowned in the storm
[Chorus]
E A D
Fight for honour and for praise
E A
Sailed the sea throughout the days
E/G# F#m
In cold ground I'll never lay
D E F#m
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 Bm D E
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 E D
And I wish that I'd drowned in the storm
[Chorus]
E A D
Fight for honour and for praise
E A
Sailed the sea throughout the days
E/G# F#m
In cold ground I'll never lay
D E F#m
I'd rather die on the ocean
[Chorus]
E A D
Fight for honour and for praise
E A
Sailed the sea throughout the days
E/G# F#m
In cold ground I'll never lay
D E F#m D E F#m
I'd rather die on the ocean
