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