[Verse]
G C G C
On a fine summer's morning as we lay at the quay
G Am 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 Am7 D G D D/E
To homeland and for Queen
[Verse]
D/F# G C G C
When the loading was done, we hoisted full sail
G Am C D D/E
Prayed for good winds to guide us and deliverance from gales
D/F# 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/F# Em
In cold ground I'll never lay
C D Em C D Em
I'd rather die on the ocean
[Verse]
G C G C
Thirty days out to sea and the weather was fine
G Am 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 Am7 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 Am C D
E 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/F# C
Or if we'd all be lost in the storm
[Chorus]

[Verse]
G C G C
Well, the waves washed the deck, in the wind we were locked
G Am 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 Am7 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 Am 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/F# C
And I wished that I'd drowned in the storm
[Chorus]

[Verse]
G C G C
And I've lived with the thought for the rest of m' days
G Am 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]
