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